Enjoying the warm weather

I started out this month by renting a cottage on Wellesley Island not too far from where I live.  It was such a beautiful and relaxing way to start the warm weather season.  I hope you have been enjoying some nice weather lately too.  It’s so uplifting to be able to be outside in the warmth and sunshine again.

While on the island I really didn’t do as much art work as I thought I would but enjoyed the time I spent with family and all the beautiful views.  The cottage has a screened in porch facing the river and had spectacular views of the sunset each night.

When I returned home from the trip it was just in time to find everything turning green and all the trees were budding.  I love the vibrancy of spring in Northern New York.

  Last night my beloved husband and I found a sweet not so little doe in our backyard. We are often able to watch the deer in the fields outside our windows.   It is such a blessing to be able to live here surrounded by such beauty.

As far as art work that I have been working on lately, I’ve been working on a paper doll project that I can’t share just yet but will soon.  I’ve also been trying to work in my sketchbooks more often.  I started a teacup sketchbook using water-soluble ink and watercolors.

I’ve also been taking an online class from Danielle Donaldson on how to paint watercolor bonsai trees.  I really enjoy her classes but don’t have a lot to show yet but will share when I get further along in the class. 

I hope you have been enjoying a creative week too.
