Paint Party Friday

It's Friday and time to 
PARTY!!!
Not a whole lot going on here this week....
rain, rain, and more rain :( 
Yesterday afternoon finally tried to be sunny and it did stop raining . 
Thinking this was my chance to get some of the monster weeds pulled I headed to the driveway flower bed.....
after just a few minutes I disturbed a wasp nest and got stung 3 times on my right hand. 
OUCH!!!
This was my hand this morning ..
So the painting I was planning to finish today didn't get done. 
I did go and get a steroid shot and some steroid pills and it much better tonight. This morning I couldn't hardly type much less hold a brush. 
One garden shot before the sting :) 
Here's the tomatoes on Wednesday...


Lots of green ones that are very slightly starting to turn ...but just not enough sunshine. The forecast for the nest 4 days is heat and sun... so just maybe we'll have ripe tomatoes :) 
This is my art for Summer of Color 5 
Two greens and a pink. The darkest colors on the page are a dark forest green then a spring green and rose pink. 
This is my WIP a sketch I did in July of 2014... It didn't scan well but there is more shading on the face. 
I did manage to get a few layers on yesterday but today was a no go....
So she'll get finished another day .

  1. Oh I am so sorry about your hand, wasp stings are always so unpleasant and painful. Feel better soon, Sweetie. Glad you managed to get some things done before those wasps got you! Take care of yourself, hugs, Valerie

  5. Ohh, Carol, you poor thing!! Stings are just awfully painful. I've been stung five times in my life so far, and know that one at a time is painful enough. I hope your hand is much better today.
    Your garden is looking smashing, and if your tomatoes don't ripen, you can always make green chutney, which is delicious. Your SOC piece is gorgeous. And your 'thoughts' are appreciated. {{Hugs}}

  7. Holy cow, Carol. I can't believe that hand. Glad you went to the doctor at least. I hope it gets better soon.

    You did a fantastic job with your SOC colors this week. The colors you chose for each flower was lovely. Did you use a compass to get those perfect circles? I'd never be able to do that, even if I used a plate or something similar.

    BTW, I hope some of your "men" will relieve you of cooking and working in the garden. It's been raining here, too. We've even had floods right here in Wichita.

  10. Carol, poor you and your hand! That is some pretty impressive swelling.. ouch! Hope you are doing better this morning. Your tomatoes look great but you are so right about our lack of sun... I think we are going to get a pretty good taste of heat, humidity, and sun this week. We are fighting spider mites, if they kill my junipers I am going to get a cranky! Spider mites and Japanese Beetles... bah!

  11. ooh poor you, that looks painful! My daughter was stung underneath her foot by a bee and that hurt for a few days.... Good that you were able to finish your SOC-piece, it looks great! Love this combination of colors! Hope your hand will heal fast, so you can finish that WIP!
