Painting from a Brochure because it's Winter

I saw this picture (actually, it was a photo) in a Brochure about flower arranging--and since it is all Snow outside,  I wanted to watercolor and post some pretty flowers for some color.

Drawing in Church 1-19-14

I took these notes in Church today--part of Pastor's "Cover to Cover" series going through the Bible.  We are covering it in Chunks and continuing in "Servant Kings"
Today was also 'Sanctity of Human Life' Sunday and we had a wonderful report from our own Dr. Wendy......!  She helps at the Pregnancy Care Center and does Ultrsounds for the clients "-)
Also I painted the pine tree at home (on Saturday). I wanted to practice a Watercolor that my friend/instructor posted on her blog.  I was happy that it actually resembled a
snow-covered Pine :-);
It's been very Snowy, Flurries, and Cold here lately--with more 'Polar Vortex's' on the way.

Coffee Buddies

Quite often we go to Tim Horton's for "breakfast" after the "Y" workout...and we always see these guys having coffee together.  they often sit in the corner in front of the window--so today I decided to sketch them and would watercolor them when I got home.  I knew they saw my husband and I there often, so when we got up to leave, I showed them my sketch and said I would "color" it when I got home!  One said "Don't forget I'm the best-looking, etc....."  And another said to put on the picture that they were the WPS "World Problem Solvers"   How could I resist?
