Assignment from Letter Love class

The beginnings...
I did these flowers a while back and upon learning from Joanne Sharp's Letter Love (see: http://joannezsharpe.blogspot.com/) class, I added gridlines...


And tons of color using my new Tombow Markers and watercolors! Oh the love!



And can you BELIEVE I mispelled the word "Persistence" as "Persistance".
Now that is sad. I had it spelled right on my reference material - and to think I used to win spelling bees!!
Gee whiz, is this what happens in your early 40's!

A close up view...


And a peek at all my lovely supplies!


And one last look at the pages! Ooohh don't you just LOVE bright colors and letters!

I Love Coffee - No Really!

I picked my favorite coffee cup up to wash it, and look!!!!

I had just been to lunch and completed this page - depicting of all things, HEARTS!  Only to return to the office and find my love for coffee displayed as a coffee stain!  How amazing is that!



More Splashing

I can see this becoming a nightly routine. So soothing, my evening art therapy session... night all.

Sometimes...Ya Just Gotta Make a Splash

And so I did. In my handbook journal with an Escoda sable brush and my Yarka St. Petersburg watercolor palette.  What fun.  Good stress reliever.  Love that quinacridone rose.  I freely drew the flowers with a short stubby woodless graphite pencil.  Felt good to play. Think I'll do it again tomorrow.  I might just fill up the whole book!
