Wild Art Summer...

For many months I have been yearning for a new online class that would rock my world creatively... one that I would adore working on... hardly able to wait for the next installment...  I have searched and searched... and for this time... I am so thrilled to have found it~  Junelle Jacobsen's delightful Wild Art Summer.

I have loved painting since I was very young... painting in oils, acrylics... and dabbling with watercolors... Watercolors make me soooooooo happy... with their yummy, transparent, etherial lusciousness...but it is quite a tough medium to master... I cannot say I have mastered it... but I ADORE the challenge of this online class.  Junelle is a fabulous teacher, and I am learning so much...  the perfect lazy days of summer diversion.

I sketched and watercolored the entrance to my own dear cottage...

Weeding my garden...both physically and emotionally is such a special exercise for me...

Watercolor palettes show the quintessential dreaminess of summer colors...yummmm~

Love love love the wildflowers of summer... such special specimens for sketching and coloring...

Ahhhh... the coneflowers...

Where flowers bloom...

...love's truest language...

... true happiness...

oh... how I love the cosmos...

at the edge of the petal...

still sketching, coloring...practicing...

with acrylics ... learning to "blossom"....
