#WorldWatercolorMonth #SelfieArt Day July 25

IMG_20160725_085339#WorldWatercolorMonth and #SelfieArt Day  July 25  So here I am being brave again!  Not only have I tackled a selfie but I am showing myself swimming!  Of course it helps I am in the beautiful waters of the Caribbean.  Grand Turks Caicos.  By now all of you should know I love the water.  Whether it is some far away winter escape or here on the sunny shores of the Shuswap.  Most photos of me involve the water some where.  So why not paintings too?

#WorldWatercolorMonth July 18 “Puffin”

#WorldWatercolorMonth July 18 “Puffin”. Only time for another quick sketch again today. These brightly colored billed birds have always intrigued me.  Until I started looking at photo’s of them I didn’t realize what doleful eyes they had. Next time I hope to have a bit more research on them to share with you.  Happy Monday! PEACE

#WorldWatercolorMonth “Little Worrier”

IMG_20160711_082951#WorldWatercolorMonth “Little Worrier”  I found myself wondering what to paint for todays post around 2 a.m.  A silly time to be wondering such things I know but this is me we are talking about.  Meet Little Miss Worrier!  She is the first dog I have ever painted.  Happy Monday! Peace.

#NatureDoodlewash Otter

June 30th 2016  This is the final day of the month and for #NatureDoodlewash.  Today I have gone back to the beach for a walk.  I look out onto the water and there I see an Otter!  He is having a lot of fun frolicking in the waves.  Have you ever been entertained by an Otter?  It is a joyful experience.

#NatureDoodlewash Cute and Fuzzy

June 28th  Since we are still in Scotland we will go for a nature walk in the Highlands today.  Here we will come across the most common of sights, sheep.  They are everywhere, its their grass, their hills and even their road.  These two were only slightly curious of our approach so apparently people are common here too.

#NatureDoodlewash A surprise!

June 21  Imagine if you will going around a corner on you favourite nature trail and coming across one of these guys.  A black bear.  Staring back at you, midstride, mid trail.  All stop.  You find yourself muttering a few choice unrepeatable words.  What to do?  Make noise, look big!  Ya, make noise look big!!  The black bear is just as startled.  He high tails it into the woods and you do an about face and walk as briskly as humanly possible in the opposite direction from whence you came.  A true story.  Talk about an adrenalin rush.  Where is a camera when you need it?  I don’t think I would have even had a chance to take a picture it all happened rather quickly.

#NatureDoodlewash Another sea

June 20  Today my walk took me to another kind of sea.  A field full of wild flowers.  Its a rather hilly patch of land.  Mainly covered by white daisies, clover and assorted other grasses and weeds but it all reminded me of a rolling ocean.
