ReplyDeleteIt seems life is flying by...what's going on? The work load is overwhelming and I'm hurrying winter which will, hopefully, give me some rest time.

Love your painting. It is so sweet. I loved your haiku this week too. x

ReplyDeleteBeautiful sandpiper!!
ReplyDeleteCute! I don´t recognize many birds, ours are all city ones (small and quick).
ReplyDeleteLovely painting Carol! So much inspiration around us no? :)
ReplyDeleteI love the painting and the instructions. I am just getting into watercolor (dipping my toe in the water so to speak). It is certainly a different medium. I go more for pastels and prismacolor pencils. I use to do watercolor a very very long time ago. Practice, Practice, Practice! Thanks for visiting, Blessings, Janet PPF
ReplyDeleteYOur Sandpiper is so sweet! I love the way you painted it! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLovely..You have captured the seasons change perfectly in your Haiku and painting. HPPF late.
