My Mom turned 83 on 9-11. We had a family cook out at my brothers house. Burgers, fries cake and ice cream. Here's the birthday card I did for her. What could be better for a birthday than birds, flowers and balloons!!!

A flower on 4X6 watercolor paper. I used an ATC I did earlier rather than drawing from a photo. I love the purple cone-flowers. They grow wild in my yard along with several other wild flowers.
The R Journal Challenge this week was "Radiant Woman with the color red on the page". I wasn't feeling too radiant this week so it's just a pencil sketch with a little watercolor on it. Maybe I'll be radiant next week.

YES she did have work done on her upper lip. (Botox?) |
I finally finished a painting I have been working on. When I think I'm done I always see something I want to change but I guess I have to stop somewhere!
