Newfies and cherry blossom days

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , Leave a comment

Emmett (white chest, cherry blossoms sticking to his drool) and Clara, our newfies, under our beautiful cherry trees. She looks smaller here but isn’t really, not much. I love the cherry-blossom-snow-days best of all days in our yard, I think. And they are so few!

Emmett in back, Clara up front, playing in the cherry blossoms. I know this isn’t art related. I do plan to sketch some blossoms, though! IMG_7939

A lot of sloober, yes, but how can anyone resist those faces? (Okay, anyone without a newfie may not appreciate them. They are a mess here)

Artist Trading Cards… 2 1/2×3 1/2 inches. Treehouses. The fronts, top and right using daniel smith paints, bottom left using qor…

The backs… one unfinished, the school house uses Jane davenport mermaid watercolor markers (they are really a waterbased color in a waterbrush) Vivid colors, difficult for me to control, and they lift off a bit too easily, but quite fun. I think they’d be great for something larger, especially art journal pages, or calligraphy. The country store uses daniel smith.

Oh, and about halfway through I found this gift from my newfoundland dog dripping off my table right in front of me. I don’t know how I didn’t get slimed. Don’t get a newfie if you can’t handle the Sloober. He’s not allowed in my studio alone, but he snuck in a bit earlier. Obviously. That Sloober would literally be there in a week if I hadn’t removed it… looking like a thick shiny… dried… disgusting hangy thingy… I tried it once just to see. Ugh.
