NEW WORKS FROM FRIPPERIES AND BUTTERFLIES.................New water Color Illustrations

 

Today was another creative art day, and I completed two new watercolor paintings! 🎨🍂

I must have been in the mood for fall because my thoughts kept drifting to cooler weather. Yes, I am definitely ready for it! The changing colors, crisp air, and cozy feeling of the season have been inspiring me lately.

I am having so much fun exploring watercolors and learning new techniques with each painting. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to stop by, look at my artwork, and support my creative journey. Your kind comments and encouragement mean so much to me!

Wishing everyone a wonderful day and hoping these fall-inspired creations bring a little seasonal joy your way. 🍁🧡

WHAT'S NEW WITH FRIPPERIES AND BUTTERFLIES

 

Welcome everyone! So this weekend I had an art day, what is an art day you ask? Well it is where you get together with friends or by yourself and let your imagination lead what you do that day...could be painting, drawing paper crafts etc. So for me I picked up a pencil and paintbrush and created two new pieces that I wanted to share with my followers. I am getting ready for next months Craft show and this is what I created.
