Dog art

I'm so caught up in trying to sell my house that I
am not really doing much art at all. I do have this
sweet dog whose chin is resting on the porch rail.
I did this in watercolor class Monday.




I'm also showing a photo of the poinsettia from Christmas 2016.
It spent the summer of 2017 outside. When I brought it inside
last fall, the shock made all the green leaves it had fall off.
It did have tiny pink leaves at the ends of these long branches.
I have babied it by supplying lots of sunlight and artificial
light. I have 2 small poinsettias from last Christmas that
I will also plant outside if we ever get spring here in VA.


Joining my friends on Paint Party Friday with much
gratitude for the hard work of the hosts 
Eva and Kristin.

    Wow your dog painting is so beautiful...he looks so pensive chin resting on the fence!! Love it! All the best on the sale of your house! It can be daunting that's for sure!! Keeping everything perfect and all the waiting is rough. Not to mention the packing afterward!! Like I say, All the best!!

    Peace Giggles

    Thanks for visiting Faye. Our heat has been off since first week in April, we have had 9 hard freezes in April. Hard to appreciate OK at all. Fires are all west of us, the earthquakes however are not! Thanks again, (((hugs))) Janet

    Hallo, dear Faye, this watercolour of the dog is so wonderful! And the story - no! Not just a "story" - a true WONDER! - of the Christmas-plant shows your great empathy you have for all these creatures and things around you. So your art is so special full of soul and love. Gifted Faye!
