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? 

Christmas--God With Us

  

I'm posting my "DrawingInChurch" notes for today....on my personal blog.  Hope you can read it. :-)
Our "Shepherding Pastor" was the
Preacher today. 

Merry Christmas

   
I watercolored this a few years ago, and thought I would use it for our Christmas Card this year.....so to anyone sho doesn't get one:
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ornaments

 Thought I would try Watercolor-ing a couple ornaments--one in purple, one in red.  Just a little color for my sketchbook journal :-)

Umbrellas

   

Saw a photo of these umbrellas in the Newspaper...this is only some of them.....
but it was fun to sketch them myself and watercolor them the way I like the
colors arranged.  I love lots of color :-)
