Oh, the joys of summer days! And yes, I still say that after we had two days of extreme heat and humidity.
Our Hallelujah Garden is full of gladsome color – photos and p’raps poems to come in future posts.
Last week with two friends I visited an old forgotten cemetery that has been uncovered and restored. Blog post to come. It’s been a long time since I posted in my Grave Musings series and I am looking forward to it.
After some feedback from faithful blog readers, I’ve gotten some items to dress up our dinner table when we have guests. Thank you! Photos and musings to come.
But at least today I can share with you some water coloring I’ve been doing lately.
No, that’s not for somebody named “Art,” although my father-in-law would qualify. I thought I might string those together and hang them somewhere in the craft room.
A butterfly and many dragonflies. I feel unsettled about the butterfly. It looks somewhat poorly proportioned. If you got that on a card in the mail, would you wonder why the butterfly is sagging a bit or would the gold paint distract you from all of its flaws?
The dragonflies were my attempt to follow a tutorial I found in which you put four dots of paint in a small square and make the dragonfly wings from those. The artist made it look so easy! You can infer from that statement anything you want.
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Many words were deleted in the production of this post and perhaps more will be in the morning.

I like the butterfly. It’s a whimsical butterfly and I like whimsical. The color is beautiful. I wouldn’t change a thing. I’d love to see how the dragonflies were done. Maybe I’ll look that up. You sure make painting fun for me, Lynn. And you’re a great computer teacher 😊.

If I remember, I’ll send you the link to the dragonfly tutorial. I watched it a million times on auto-replay while I was painting! Thanks for the positive feedback on the butterfly, too. I always see my own work through critical eyes. (Don’t we all?) Blessings!

Whimsical is the perfect word for the butterfly (hat tip to Barb). You should be very happy with it, no unsettled feeling necessary.
I like the foreshadowing of future blog posts. Keeps ‘em coming back.

I’d love to receive a butterfly print in the mail so I could answer your questions!
I think your dragonflies are wonderful, no matter how easy or hard it may have been to paint them.
YOU make your drawings and paintings look so easy! I enjoy seeing your creations.
