SUMMER FLOWERS...CELEBRATING SUMMER!

 SUMMER FLOWERS IN DECORATIVE WATERING CAN

    Summer is speeding by.

Still celebrating summer by playing with creating a new version of mixed flowers in a decorative watering can.

Have a Beautiful Day!

PLAYING AND CREATING

 WONDER BEGINS WISDOM II

The nice thing about working digitally is you do not have to start from scratch when wanting to do a new or updated version of a design you created. It allows for play.

Below is the original that I created.

As you can see, you can change flowers, colors, scale, and more to see what you like better...or like both versions.

With all this March madness, I am looking forward to spring's beauty to blossom forth!

So while confined to the house, I have gone back to illustrating more. Here is the latest.

Flower Love

The Good News

The sun is out after a late spring snow. Fortunately the snow did not stick. The spring flowers are working their way out to the promise of warmer weather today.

The older I get the more I love flowers. They are the sunshine for the soul. 

I thought to revisit an early concept of flowers popping out of an envelope. This time I while designing this illustration I gave it the color pop of spring's glory. 

I miss the days of when people actually sent letters and cards bearing good news. Today, where most mail is junk and bills, those bright spots of cheer that old fashion correspondence brought are truly missed. 

Below you can find this illustration not only in framable prints, but on other items as well on my Fine Art America site.

My husband, Norm, and I will be doing a show together! Our work is cut out for us the next couple of days! Lots to think about and lots of work to hang!

I am rather excited though, even though we have had a lot of snow. 

Cross your fingers...sure hope it is a success!
