In the Mood for Spring ~ Paint Party Friday week #52

"The Stormy March has come at last
With wind, and cloud, and changing skies;"



The days seem longer now and in the days behind and to come, the skies are sunny and blue and the earth is now basked in warmth.






I believe that Spring, is not too far away!

For a change I thought it would nice to do a painting with colour . I found an old illustration of a clothe's line and decided I wanted to try my water colour pencils. By far , not a very good illustration although I did learn a few things in this exercise, like not applying too much water on the brush and using a tiny brush gave me more control. Will need to do more ; )














************ And of course I couldn't resist to sketch some more pictures for my little story.






Charcoal, which is great but too messy....lol, had to wash my hands and face quite a few times ; )










This one is a pencil sketch of which I'm in the process of recreating in paint on canvas board.
Still missing elements in this one and the one above.



Happy Paint Party Friday and Happy 1st Anniversary .
Thanks Kristin and Eva for creating this wonderful lovely site, enjoying it very much ; )
Please visit all the PPF artists here...... Eva and Kristin

Very very nice. Love your pieces. I love to hang clothes! It's that time of year soon and hanging clothes on my lines will be a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing your great pieces. Happy PPF!

You are such a beautiful artist! I love the addition of the cherry blossoms and the clothes on a line are just perfect. I really love this, xo

I LOVE your water color and sketch- both are beautiful in different way. The clothesline is so light and airy, I really like your composition and the illustration has me longing to see it completed, 'cause I know it will be wonderful!

Twilight at Sea


The Twilight Hours like birds flew by,
As lightly and as free;
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten Thousand on the sea;
For every wave with dimpled face,
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace,
And held it trembling there.
