SPRING TULIPS
SPRING TULIPS
Watercolor & Ink
''A throbbing in the head does not a painting make''...:)
I told the story of my sudden terrific headache under my painting of the ''Wonky Buildings''....and I have still had that headache since March 12 th.
On and off but more on than off!
Finally though, this morning and throughout the day today I feel that it is winding down...and I made this start at getting back to regular painting.

CARDINAL SINGING IN MAPLE TREE
CARDINAL SINGING IN MAPLE TREE
I went for a walk around the gardens since the weather is perfection, sun shining, slight breeze, and just under 70 degrees...my kind of weather. My overwintered parsley is about 6 inches tall already, so I harvested some and will have Parsley Potatoes for dinner...a fave.
While I was in the garden a Bright Red Cardinal came and serenaded me with his glorious song...as he perched in the bright chartreuse of the Maple tree blooms above...what a Joy that was ...I just had to sit down awhile and enjoy his beautiful song and soak up some vitamin D sunshine...it felt as if nothing could be better than this...:)
This is similar to the call/song of my Cardinal this morning...but I think mine was more melodic...:)

BUILDINGS DOODLED
BUILDINGS DOODLED
I was just doodling around today...about all I am capable of right now....:)
I had a strange accident last Monday late afternoon. I was eating an apple and inhaled a piece of it into my windpipe and I coughed so hard to get it out that suddenly something POPPED in my forehead like a gunshot inside my head...immediately I had the worst headache of my life.... after a few minutes it got a little better, but I could hardly move my head the pain was so intense. I was concerned about a stroke...although I checked myself and had no symptoms....but my daughter took me to the ER where they did a Catscan to check for bleeding in the brain or stroke etc. I was OK....and the headache was lessening...but it has been hanging on for the week and today was the first day I was able to not have to use pain medication.
Needless to say I have not felt like painting...so I just Doodled...:)
I used Watercolor, Ink, and Picasa editing for this.
I know my buildings are leaning a bit...but so am I...;)...;)...:D

FLAT BRUSH EXPERIMENT
FLAT BRUSH EXPERIMENT
I have always used round brushes...but I wanted to experiment with a 3/4 inch flat brush I have with a plastic beveled handle.
Windsor Newton brush.
I have never used flat brushes...quite a different feel, but I like some of the possibilities...:) Handle end is good for scraping too...:)
I bought this brush in about 1985...and think I paid around 15 to 20 dollars for it then...:) Must be worth a fortune now...:) :)

QUEEN ANNE FUN
I have had a full day of painting today, and decided to finish off the day with a playful, carefree, totally unplanned painting.
I knew it would be of Queen Annes Lace...and I began with Neocolor Crayons....then added Watercolor & Ink...totally spontaneous...and to me, these spontaneous paintings are the most fun of any painting I do...:)
YELLOW LILY WATERCOLOR PAINTING
YELLOW LILY WATERCOLOR PAINTING
I have been planning to paint a Yellow Lily for a long time.
I resisted the temptation to add Ink to this one.
Unfortunately the yellow didn't photo well and the background has more red than shows here.
DAFFODIL DREAMING
DAFFODIL DREAMING
Daffodils & Tulips seem to be on my mind lately...and with the snow finally melted and some sunshiny days, I might find some in the garden soon...:)
This painting is done with Watercolor and Ink.
