Sketches from my walk

This morning I woke up and was out early, just Chloe and I making our way to the coffee shop when I saw this feather. I think it's from a Red Tailed Hawk. One of the things I enjoy the most about walking and running is that I get to enjoy the things I would never see if I was driving.What oddities do you find on your walks?

Painted Rose


This is not watercolor, but Seta Color. I painted it in a class I took at Sisters, Oregon Quilt Show last week. We painted from a photograph.  Thought my friends might want to see it, even though it is not watercolor.  Will eventually put it in a quilt. Sorry I miss class again next week - but I keep practicing.

Strawberries

My fruit for this week is Strawberries, my favorite all summer.  Traveling, there are many berry stands to get fresh in season berries.  This afternoon, I sat outside my camper and played with these berries.  I want to practice, but wish I could get simpler drawings - I feel I get too complicated in my shape and too much paint on it. I did like the leaf stamping so much, and the circle idea - I used this on the berries.  Ate them afterward, ummmm good!
