I've been very busy this week. You should be proud!
A quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, see my post about it here.
Yes, I name my plants. My cactus' name is Hector. Hector the Cactus. I thought it fitting...
This is a quote painting that I did that other day so I could blog about how I met a new person. You can read that post here. It's a good one.
I screwed up this painting, but I thought I would so you all anyhow. So there it is. My plant has like brown-red outlines on it's leaves. I tried, and failed. Haha.
Thought I'd show you my crazy plant with the pinkness. And how I was wasting much time painting it. It was pretty tedious, but I found it relaxing at the same time. Zen-like, really.
And my oh, so glorious sunglasses that I am super duper obsessed with. I love them so much. I want to put this one in a frame, for reallies.
CAUSE I'M HAVIN' A GOOD TIME, HAVIN' A GOOD TIME! I'M A ROCKETSHIP ON MY WAY TO MARS ON A COLLISION COURSE, I AM A SATELLITE, I'M OUTTA CONTROL...
I could go on, I wont bore you. I've been listening to a lot of Queen lately.
And then, there is this birdy. I was googling birds or something and came across this digi painting. And I thought the bird was like, the cutest freaking thing ever, so I had to draw it.
Also, this bird that I am pretty proud of. I thought it was a very pretty bird. It seemed easy enough to paint, so I did. I found this birdy here.
You see, I have this Pinterest Board of things I want to paint, you can check that out here.
Then, I made up this quote. I found some decorative banners to try and emulate via google. I really liked this one. And it helps me to remember that, I should really think about my ideas, and even give them a try.
Did you work on your hobby over the week?? Link up with the fun linkies below and show it off, friends!!

Why aren't you selling any of these on Etsy or creating headers for people?????? I am dead serious! I would totally purchase a custom water color header from you! What do ya say babe?? How much you charge??
ReplyDeleteThese are all gorgeous, you are so talented. :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the watercolours. That bird is adorable. I also love the quote paintings and Emerson is my favourite. So many amazing and insightful quotes come from that man.
ReplyDeleteI love your black and white bird, so much attitude! and the "don't let your ideas for to waste" banner, super love!!
ReplyDeleteThe last one is my absolute favorite. Seriously, get an etsy shop! These are so unique, and I like them a lot more than some of the more simple quote boards.
