Pots of Flowers

I have taken several online classes from the talented Martha Lever; one being Color Drop Flowers.  At the end of the class videos Martha gives an additional video, which was these pots of flowers done in watercolor.  I love creating these little watercolors.  I recently started working in a Moleskin Sketching Journal and decided to try using watercolors in it and to my surprise it worked quite well.  Many art journal blog sites I visit have the artist raving about Moleskins to do their art journaling.....so, I am pleased to say, I rather enjoy working in this journal.  I have tried both watercolor and acrylic paints in this Moleskin and both held up very well!  Next time I'm out shopping for art supplies I'll pick up a Moleskin Watercolor Journal - just to test the waters!  I thought I share a spread I did with these Pots of Flowers in my Moleskin.....hope you enjoy...

Popcorn Parade

Recently my grandson Niko was in the Blue Creek Elementary School's production of the Kindergarten class rendition of the "Popcorn Parade".  Each child from the three Kindergarten classes had a part in the play and it was to celebrate the children's progression into first grade.  They were all so cute-of course Niko was the cutest of all!!!  I can not believe he will be in first grade-it seems he was just a little baby now he's growing up faster than I could imagine!!!  And now, here is Niko ....




Niko is seventh from the left in the front row.....
good wishes...
