Cactus Monday

This is a leaf of a night blooming cereus with a bud on it. I have been hoping to see one of these this summer. I believe the window of opportunity is about gone. I won't give up hope this year until frost though. Happy Cactus Monday to all the Cactuteers.

Animal Wednesday - Goldfinch

I painted this goldfinch from a photo taken by Sherry over at Q's Corner. She is a great photographer and has much inspiration on her blog for my nature paintings and drawings. HAW to all you Animal Wednesday participants. If you would like to see more animals from Animal Wednesday go to Teri's Painted Daisies. Teri is the host for this muse.

Bloomin' Tuesday - Asian Lilies

I don't usually join in on Bloomin' Tuesday but I thought I would today because I thought about this picture I did in an art class a couple of years ago. I am going to start that class again this week. Looking forward to it.
I hope to learn more. My plodding along by myself is good but I do learn techniques etc in the class. I will let you know how it goes.

Cactus Monday - Prickly Pear

I saw a prickly pear cactus in a barrel this summer. I tried to paint it. The sky got gooky on me but I like the cactus. Sometimes that watercolor does stuff I don't understand and I can't control.

Cactus Monday snuck up on me this week. I did manage to get this onto the computer. Happy Cactus Monday.
