<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> . so I have been busy playing and having fun...but not painting....so July was the month to womp out a show.... My middle daughter... Christina, of Aknitterslife , decided it should be called.... "Indiana in Bloom"... and so it is...and I have painted 11 paintings of flowers of Indiana! and it has been so fun.... Acrylic is not my medium,, but I have grown to love it... it goes fast and I have incorporated my style of brush work ...and it works... at least I think so....any now...here are some.... the rest you can go to CalvinFletcher coffee shop in Fountain Square to see... starting August. ...If you go... make sure you stop in at Wildwood Market... and crab one of Indy's best sandwiches... sit outside and enjoy Indiana summer.... </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; text-decoration-line: underline;">

my newest Grand baby... little Olivia.. she is such a joy to spend time with... I now have 8 delightful grandchildren... and they are all very creative.. John and I put together some forest furniture for Stuart our favorite character that goes on adventures often.... The joke book is a favorite , and keeps us laughing. Birthdays are coming up in July....but a special friend in Maine had her 12 birthday...can you guess who it was?.....A quick watercolor sketch and lunch to say good by to the pansies... too hot now...they were replaced by geraniums..... and some dog portraits.. It is so far a busy summer...but the best is yet to come.... flowers!!! and birthdays...and barbecues...and just more fun with grandies... In between all that fun... I hope to paint... </div>

And all the sheep I paint are her sheep. Scottish Black Face sheep. Nina is a worl renown photographer and takes incredibly beautiful pictures of these sheep... And of course it inspires me to pick up my brush and capture again the beauty. This is only a few of the many paintings and illustrations I have done. Sheep have always reminded me of my relationship to God, I am a sheep in his pasture , The Lord is my Shepherd. I also love painting farm life .. Always a challenge to get the animals to stay still. Life on the farm is peaceful, a spiritual journey, a wonderful place to be. I love visiting Nina, and pitching in with all the chores, knowing the place helps to paint it better <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTQzi5uKZx81ToziQl4t_6ST-zxhBQl7xXtgz4Wx1sQUPmJEWPuqwUqvLjdlYdrbIm1CLi4lNsiw-uyg65ZEbgmwJ4xxbHq7s1PSnwh4Jjtdo5yMgm4UG9ztBiJLhDA59DH0y6gX5zt-w/s640/blogger-image--2065926364.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTQzi5uKZx81ToziQl4t_6ST-zxhBQl7xXtgz4Wx1sQUPmJEWPuqwUqvLjdlYdrbIm1CLi4lNsiw-uyg65ZEbgmwJ4xxbHq7s1PSnwh4Jjtdo5yMgm4UG9ztBiJLhDA59DH0y6gX5zt-w/s640/blogger-image--2065926364.jpg"></a></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4PV9gUg_p5JCeZvz3lVSd6oGCm3sDFGfYRadI74S9bZvwBZz0UzTSmBQdbhY8dUfqrVUJDbLA2tKqOgkEBDREd8i7AQLN8JBiw6E79FlRTpnlDaO-3kbgUqyRQev0Qj9DM3y1NrbP_JA/s640/blogger-image--1730967911.jpg"></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXALnuwxtIbswXJMrApgWTau6VXmoskDuTf5lmpYCmD4VtUQH4bP7PJMq_xlHYmh-ZB2B46SZp-fMr1wCw4lP1uuKgdNszkinYkqmWsgEFW1nZfn9Ry63An3XTP2DQlgseZjLtkexQ230/s640/blogger-image--1501928511.jpg"></div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixyW5qsiqNdObFLDViwwpfubGPmzrG68eWFn94P95_RqIN3JMO6aP9x1SUYfOGSG1baxTYmTVu1XF7WFk92DU_eeXMsXoeh7LE5m7-XTKiBJxxSplAJnv1d5UJsDkKbgnpHg_iiepJ8Bs/s640/blogger-image-1353100706.jpg"></div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13016070672910469387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193109904353302095.post-84386974296671991642016-02-07T17:20:00.001-08:002016-02-07T17:32:35.603-08:00Birds and Bees<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyphenhyphenHqIlfNCREtBD3G_r2BPMuqKNk2ThflI0il_Mg428_29E26712Si8PlIJY2tkY-FZVhnbV4mnL1V5XqEP5rLZxsOWgpPxURYzG1TCtd-gVtCKER7Uadw_4dnYmsvLqwwR37kBWNBbt8/s640/blogger-image--1112840717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyphenhyphenHqIlfNCREtBD3G_r2BPMuqKNk2ThflI0il_Mg428_29E26712Si8PlIJY2tkY-FZVhnbV4mnL1V5XqEP5rLZxsOWgpPxURYzG1TCtd-gVtCKER7Uadw_4dnYmsvLqwwR37kBWNBbt8/s640/blogger-image--1112840717.jpg"></a></div>On this journey of painting I have seen myself gravitate to several favorite subjects.

Often I ask other Artists.... where do go for inspiration?.... We are all different...but these are a few of my secrets.... and sometimes I don't know where it will come from....but looking for it is key... </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think getting out of the studio and spending time with people that inspire you and challenge you, my grandchildren light my fire...and cause creativity to flow out in wonderful ways... I love painting with them and getting them excited about picking up brush and color...they are so free and unafraid of what happens to the paint on the paper...and it is all so fun.... .</div>

another trick of mine is to get a new tool... a new brush, or here I bought some new ink pens...and have had a wonderful time sketching with them... especially since the landscape now in the winter is mostly beautiful silhouettes of naked trees..perfect for pen and in... .So get out of the studio... and search for beauty... it's out there in many forms... let me know what inspires your work... </div>

I have neglected this blog too long... actually my BF reminded me that I haven't added anything since last October... that shocked me... sorry , I just got so busy with Holidays, work...and Insta Gram... hahahaha... have you found that yet?...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I so want to share my experiences with Watercolor so I decided to use this place for only sharing how I work, the tools I use and techniques with Watercolor... I have often,...actually most every time I tell people I use Watercolor...they say... oh that is a very hard medium to use... I disagree.. it is fear that stops people from enjoying one of the most forgiving mediums and one that works for you... </div>

Usually everyday I practice, I find a photo of flowers...or birds... whatever catches my eye, and I use my sketch book... so I don't waste good watercolor paper... and i just play... sometimes its good, sometimes really bad...but who cares.. its all my sketchbook... but the main thing is to paint<br />

I am not a well organized Artist... I just love to paint beauty... and I so want to share and help anyone else out there that wants to try Watercolor or loves to create also... so hopefully I can keep up this plan... </div>
