Autumn Reflections Watercolor 11×14 140 lb Cold Press
Autumn Reflections.
Looking back….
I wonder why
it took me
so long
to realize
the beauty
of Autumn’s
brilliant transformation.
Looking forward…
I appreciate the journey
that got me
to this place
where I embrace
the inspiration
of Autumn
reflections.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Hal the colorful cow
simply did not know how to smile.
He tried things like raising his brow,
but still there remained a grimacing scowl.
He visited Frau,
who just gave him a meow.
He wandered around here and now,
and sighed and sadly whispered, “wow.”
So he went about his daily plow,
trying and trying to think of somehow.
When it came to him that he would take a vow –
he simply committed he would disallow.
So he took a bow,
and all of the sudden, he was able to smile.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Colorful Hummingbird Watercolor 8×10 140lb Saunders Hot Press
A Pair of Hummingbirds in Watercolor.
Among the many birds that visit our backyard are sweet little hummingbirds.
I noticed our little hummer friends that arrived in May didn’t seem to be visiting the feeder recently and realized I had not changed the “nectar.” As soon as I filled it with fresh sugary water, they were back in a snap.
They are so beautiful. Not nearly as wacky colored as I created here in this pair, but I sure had fun going wild with color creating this beautiful, graceful little creatures.
Colorful Hummingbird 2 Watercolor 8×10 140lb Saunders Hot Press
Recalling the one I recently painted for a friend, I had fun creating these ones on a whim and with no agenda or direction in mind. I love this style of painting where you just throw color down and add water and watch it do its magic! Every one is a unique creation.
Hope your day is colorful and creative and magical.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves can be so changing;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
They need not be unchanging;
Not only green like everyone;
But you can be whatever you want.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Pink and Orange and Gold look good on thee!
Embrace the magic!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
