The weather here has taken a turn for the warmer.
However, the official last frost date here is in May.
So I will wait for a little while before planting annuals.
On the other hand, the flowering trees and shrubbery
are so beautiful now in their spring colors.
This week in watercolor class, we had a choice of photos
to choose from. All were dogwood trees. I chose this
dogwood portrait to paint. Actually the picture was of
white dogwood blossoms but I wanted to do pink ones.
Then I took this terrible rose I had painted and doodled all
over the page while I was watching television. I think it
turned out to be an interesting doodle.
And hearty thanks to Kristin and Eva for hosting
the weekly Paint Party Friday.
beautiful rose flower and very nice the doodle flower!

Dogwood is our provincial flower...you did a beautiful job! A few warm days and my daughter was tempted to plant annuals too...but I warned of the frost and rain. Your rose is so cool and funky! Well done!

Great blog banner too!
ReplyDeleteThe dogwood blossoms are so pretty! And the doodling looks like fun. Your header flower is wonderful, too. I can tell you spend some time on your paintings. They have a lot of detail. I try to finish too quickly. Enjoy spring!
ReplyDeleteI adore your dogwood flower painting. I used to have a tree of pink dogwood outside the back door. I miss that tree. I also LOVE your doodle. It is quite interesting and detailed. ((HUGS)) I hope you've had a good week my Friend. <3
ReplyDeleteYour blossoms are so beautiful Faye, and I love your doodled rose. What a great idea to doodle over a painting you don't like.
