My Sister’s Poppies

My sister’s first watercolor painting–completed during our Memorial Day family watercolor fest. How impressive is this for her first attempt? My sister, an accomplished sugar artist, said she imagined that she was decorating a cake. Watercolors on cold pressed Acquarello Artistico paper by Fabriano.

Watercolor Calla Lilies

Watercolors, micron pen, and acrylic ink on cold pressed Canson Aquarelle/Acuarela paper. Another painting my daughter finished during our joint painting session this week. How amazing is she? I just love this. I’ll be posting one of my paintings tomorrow. For step-by-step instructions on completing this project pick up a copy of the book, “Botanical Flowers in Watercolor” by Michael Lakin.

A little time all to myself, a steamy cup of coffee, my little Piggy snuggled up at my side, and the arrival of two new books from my book club–it doesn’t get any better than this. I can’t wait to see what visual delights and inspiration await me inside these two books:

I hope you carve out some time for yourself this weekend and do something equally inspiring and enjoyable. Have a great weekend.
