Paint Party Friday

It's Friday and time to party with the artist

at 

PAINT PARTY FRIDAY!

Thanks again to Kristin & Eva for hosting this weekly event ♥♥♥♥

I missed last week. It's SPRING and all of my time and energy went to working in the yard and gardens. I'm much slower than I used to be so it's taking me longer to get things done. 

IT'S EARTH DAY !!!

So I'll share a couple of flower painting from last year and a few garden photo's from this week. 

 The top one is one of my favorite paintings from last year ♥

The flowers this year so far have been stunning. Mother Nature has been kinder to them.

 The lilacs were so full and smelled so sweet 

♥

 I was afraid the frost had killed most of the apple blossoms but I was wrong :) 

 The Tiger Lilies are coming on strong and I can barely wait to see them bloom. Last year was so wet and cold they didn't even get this big much less bloom. So far the dog is being good about digging in them. Cheyenne Pepper seems to be working it's magic there . 

 My multi-ruffled tiny white daffodils are always the last ones to bloom. The shot below is to show you how small the blooms are . Even thought the leaves and stems are normal sized.  

 The Iris are just starting to bloom in some of the beds. When the big bed is in bloom it's beautiful. 

This is Jazz :0) one of the 3 blue eyed cats we own. He's an interesting character that is constantly into everything and bringing things out to the living room to show us what he's found. He can open cabinet doors and drawers so unsafe things must be kept locked away. 

Here is my current art that I'm working on. It's almost done....just a bit of background fill in still . It's my oldest granddaughter done  up a bit in a fantasy atmosphere. 

 The inspiration photo is of her and her sister playing dress up last fall. 

I painted her sister in February ...

Ok ... one last Random Thought for today and then I'm out of here and outside for 

Earth Day :)
