OPPOSITES

This is my entry for the February challenge "OPPOSITES".  Violet is the opposite of yellow on the color wheel so I thought some violet bananas were in order.  They were painted entirely with Twinkling H20's shimmering watercolors.  Since the paint is shiny, this is the best picture I could take.  I kept getting a hot spot from the flash. The actual journal page is much more violet, this picuture looks more fushia.
 
I can't wait to see what March's challenge will be.  I won't wait till the last minute to do my entry!

Yellow Tomato


YELLOW TOMATO
Here's another project from my Wednesday Watercolor class.  This was done on Aquabord by Ampersand.  It is a great surface and really makes the colors vibrant.  This is my favorite piece from Wednesday Watercolor.

HIGHLY PRIZED


My Stuffed Snake

This is the stuffed snake my favorite uncle won for me at Adventure Land in Addison, IL, some 45 years ago. I still have the snake but it has seen better days. My uncle was only 21 when he passed away. This always reminds me of him.
Below is a picture of the snake today.  He is missing his tongue, but I thought my sketchbook should have one!  I could never part with it.

This is the actual stuffed snake.
