Sweet Dreams and Besties Watercolor 8×10
Sweet Dreams and Besties.
Doesn’t almost every child
go through a phase
where Elmo or another sweet snuggly
is their best friend?
May all your dreams
be as sweet as these.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
“Late Summer Dreams” Abstract Floral Watercolor – 11×14
Late Summer Dreaming.
Laying in the warm grass,
looking up at the clouds floating by,
listening to the cicadas sing.
Cool misty morning walks,
hot afternoon ceiling fans swirling,
earlier and earlier sunsets for bright star gazing.
Plump ruby red tomatoes fresh off the vine,
bushels of zucchini for spiraling and shredding and slicing,
roasted sweet corn, and fuzz covered juicy ripe peaches.
Late summer dreaming
inspired layers of transparent watercolor glaze
in varying combinations of Prussian blue, Azo yellow, and Quinacridone rose.
Wishing you sweet late summer dreams.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Watercolor Templeton the Tiger 9 x 11 300lb Fabriano Artistico
It all started with the joy of Genevieve the Giraffe…
After her, the call of elephants led to Momma and Baby Elephant.
As I continue on my imaginary watercolor safari journey, today I present Templeton the Tiger.
I actually painted Templeton outside this past weekend one morning when the air was still cool and the sun was’t very strong yet on the back deck.
It was fun being outside dreaming of a safari I hope I someday get to go on while I paint the characters that are in my mind.
Why stop dreaming when you wake?
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Baby Cardinal – 3 days old
Dreaming of the places
her wings will take her
when she learns how to fly.
