I painted this original watercolour at a lovely greenhouse near the university. The oranges and pinks were so pretty that I wanted to capture them. And they were so happy together... that I decided to title it "all for one". Such a lovely pot of flowers.

PINK ARRAY

I've been painting with watercolour a lot lately however, this morning, it was time to get back to oil. I love painting two vases of flowers side by side, since they 'play' off each other. And, I added a nice strong side light. Super fun.

ANNIE'S KIT CLUBS - MANDALA AFGHAN "FLORAL PARADISE"

 

I'm just loving this crochet kit from Annie's Kit Clubs. I'm motoring along. Here's my little review so far. Above is kit 1 and most of kit 2 finished! Loooove the colours. The pattern has many new cute stitches like the shell stitch, the bean stitch and the star stitch. It's just so fun. And the 100% acrylic yarn, which is anti-pilling, is great to crochet with. Smooth but not slippery. So great. The pattern goes from using a 5mm hook to a 5.5mm hook. 

The start of kit 3 is flowers! As the pattern says, I've attach them to each other as I go. The pattern and video instructions do a 4 chain to start, but I'm just using a magic ring. Also, I am absolutely stitching in the ends as I go, not weaving them in after each flower, as they suggest. I'd say the pattern is intermediate.

The flower chain is separate until I'm finished all 36 of them. Then, with the white (linen colour) you attach the chain to your mandala. Even then, I'm only 1/3 of the way! It was an X-mas gift to myself so, I'm actually happy with how fast it's going. 

p.s.

The pattern calls for me to crochet into the BACK BARS a lot, so I'm not weaving in my row ends right away. That way, the back bars are easier to find.

I'm sooo inspired by oil painting lately! I work in watercolour a lot (because I teach beginners watercolour) and I love it however, the thick gooeyness of oil is super fun to work with.

I recently taught a Zoom watercolour painting class for the awesome Humber Valley Art Club. A wonderful group of artists who were very attentive as they painted along and I talked (and talked #heehee) about painting. I'm going back there in May for my first 'in person' workshop which will be on watercolour portraits. Super excited to be teaching in person. Fingers crossed...again.

Spring isn't quite in the air... but I'm gearing up for it!! 

My next project will be putting my watercolour paintings on board and waxing (!) them so they do not need to be framed behind glass. I'm very excited about this new way of showing my art. I've been watching lots of videos about how to do this, as well as talking to fellow artists who've done it successfully. Fingers crossed. #nextproject

These cheerful violets with their bright yellow centres are certainly lightening the snowy mood today. Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean you can't find some cheer for inside. ; )

Well, I may have over bought at the flower shop. Hee hee. So, I grabbed two little cups and filled 'em up. I made sure the cups, (well I guess one is a vase) were different. I love the dark one. It's such an interesting shape - one of my faves. 

Sides are painted grey.

Today's aerial view, or flat lay, includes a sprig of mint in the tea cup. I put down some different coloured papers to jazz it up. Then I found some 'like minded' objects and brewed a cuppa tea! ; )

Lookin' into a tea cup from above! It was interesting to see all of these object from a new perspective - it kind of challenged the way I identify each object. I included my favourite little glass apple. #flaylay

Thanks so much to everyone who joined my Zoom Flower Painting Demo!! It went great. And here is the end result. I'm very happy with it. I ended up adding the little red bud after all - otherwise I didn't change a thing. Cheers to all those familiar faces and so nice to meet new people too!! See you on Zoom soon.
