Here comes yet another end of the day unwind…..I hope it brightens your Friday dance routines today!
But let’s face it….um, the weekend’s almost here, do we need further brightening?!
I enjoyed putting this painting together with the help of Tombow markers, Portfolio pastels, Inktense pencils, Lumiere metallic acrylics….and a dusting of dollar-store golden eyeshadow for a bit of extra glimmer.
It was a glorious 70 degrees yesterday, and so wonderful to have a few minutes away from the desk to enjoy it. Spring has finally arrived here, and I hope it’s alive and blooming where you are, too. See you Saturday!
*Dancing off into a yellow sunrise*
It has brightened my dreary rainy Friday morning here. But the gloom may be lifting and I hope the sun will shine later.

I see a field of daffodils. Dollar-store gold eye shadow, really? I want to know which wine you were drinking. Ha ha! Heck, I bet you could swirl olive oil into something beautiful! Have a wonderful day. 💐

When you have about 12 of these, you ought to photograph them together. I bet you could have fun arranging them too.

Thanks, my sweet! It’s dreary here too. I learned soo much from The Frugal Crafter, who’s here on WordPress. Last fall, her tutorials made me believe I could paint watercolor. If you’re still thinking about WC, you might wanna check out her voluminous youtube tutorials. She’s a scrapbooker and card maker, too! Thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com

OMG!!!!!!! Do you read my mind????? Not to spoil a surprise – like anybody cares – LOL – but tomorrow’s post is already scheduled and is my first “from scratch drawn” watercolor (NOT very good) but inspired from an inspiration from the frugal crafter, who I just discovered this week! I think we ARE sistas! Soul sistas! 🙂

Anticipation….. LOL! Don’t get tooo excited – I am actually a little embarrassed to share, but it will be a growth marker and humility builder :). I need to learn to “stop!” Do you know what I mean? I kept going over and over and over and making it worse

Thanks! But I can’t take credit for that. I learned a lot from The Frugal Crafter. She’s here on WordPress. She should write a book!

I just zoomed in close to see all the glittery metallics – neat. Blue and yellow, reminds me of Provencal French pottery. Have a great weekend!
