"Words, words, words."
Nothing as serious as in "Hamlet", it's just a phrase I think to myself when I'm selecting a specific word to scribble, like this:

Today was a great day
for getting outside with Remy:
Checking out the pear tree blossoms:
But then there's the NWS winter storm watch for tomorrow evening: snow...
He's a bit impatient - he wants to get on with 'walkies'! |
Blossoms everywhere! |

Fun in the April snow!
The snow has been falling since very early this morning. Remy is a snow loving Golden. See...?
And even though it's cold and snowy, the robins are out and about singing - how wonderful is that?!
Ahhh... |

A fish from a splash
I love to splash and spritz and fling watercolors onto paper. Some pretty interesting critters are born from the process :-) Here, a fish...of some kind:

3-Step transformation
Give your blossoms a whole new...something.
1. Cut out.
2. Mount on foam core (or cardboard).
3. Hang.
Yay!
Moving blossoms from 2-D to 3-D came from Carla Sonheim's "Flower Crazy", the class I mentioned a few posts ago ( http://carlasonheim.com/flowercrazy.html ). The class was FUN and super messy - at least the way I did it!

Poor little dudes...
Snowstorm - quelle surprise. Cold days with gusting winds. So we have robins fluffing out their feathers to retain warmth. Look at these two:
Meanwhile, back in my studio, it still feels like Spring! More flower blossoms not nearly done. I plan to cut them out individually.

Carried away...
creating imaginary flower blossoms:
I had intended to work for a few minutes embellishing the watercolors I had left to dry. However, some time later when I figured I was done with this, I realized the sun was setting. Where did the time go? I just love it when I am working and I have no notion of time passing.
So what do I think of the blossom study? Some of them work as blossoms and others are more from outer space :-)

Bootie time!
Walkies - yay! Bootie - boo! Paw injury that still hasn't healed makes it a necessity. Remy forgets all about it though if there is something "yummy" (you don't want to know...) to sniff.
Something has captured Remy's attention :-) |

From negative beginnings, a surprise!
The challenge: create a painting using collage - for me, not a favored technique - and collage elements that I don't like.
Here it is:
I am pleasantly surprised :-)
