Today is Sunday and, boy, have we had a lot of rain. On the way to church, this morning, had to drive througha creek overflowing the road. Have never seen this much flooding here!

This was a painting dug out of the storage cupboard. An effort to copy an impressionist artist's winter painting. Can't remember who but when I find it , will give him the credit. The colours don't copy very well.

All of us here in Southern Ontario are pining for spring and the weather this past week has fooled us into thinking it's here! Picked a few snowdrops and put them in my mother's glass vase-then went out and bought a bunch of tulips.

This is an interesting painting , found in the old painting cupboard, which had a lot of blues that look almost florescent. It was done during an outdoor painting class oat one of Hamilton's many waterfalls.

Just a quick sketch done Tuesday after I wasn't sure what to do with the larger picture anymore. The white lilies are sooo beautiful! Ended the class feeling confident with lilies. This one , I think has too much of two's.

Had a great time painting yesterday! A beautiful still life set up for us, of lilies-white, pink and orange and watermelon, on a chair. The end of ten weeks with a curmudgeon teacher-who knows a lot, is sparing of complements and big on criticism! To be honest,most of the criticisms have been right on. Hopefully, have listened and will move forward.

Had a great afternoon painting and a wonderful Bibile study this morning. How appropriate that we again had a beautiful lily still life and watermelons on a chair. Will show later. This is one of last spring's tulips. What a fantastic flower.

Heard that I hold my paintbrush like an old lady(I am) and dab like a tea drinking nanny! Thought that might amuse some.

Another painting done on an old board. This time on barnboard. The challenge is how much wooden background to leave that it will complement the painting. Might have used too much sky colour in this one.
