Red Blossoms


I finished this painting last night. Well, with watercolors, you can actually keep on working on them over and over, that is as soon as they dry, you can do another wash, another glaze, do a highlight, etc. so it really just depends on you, if you want to say "done". You can say "done" while they are still light pastels, or you can say "done" when they are darker, more colorful. I have had a few days to work on this one, and I guess I felt it was time. For this one, I actually used the dryer quite a bit, maybe i was in a hurry to see how it turned out.

These flowers were blooming from a tree in the yard. My husband cut a few stems for me and I put them in water in a vase. They brightened up the room for a week, the buds kept on blooming, they were beautiful!

Dear God,
Thank you for the flowers that bloom, they are so beautiful and give us so much joy. Thank you for my life, and the chance to learn something new everyday. Thank you for my blessings especially my husband,my mom and family, and my friends. I pray you continue to shower us all with your blessings, especially my sister Maria on her birthday. In the Name of the Father, of the Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen.
