It’s Paint Party Friday again! Here’s a couple of things I worked on today. This is a little watercolor postcard, 4″x6″. It’s for the Inspiration Avenue challenge theme of MOTHER. I’ve had it in mind all week but just got around to working on it tonight (It’s really midnight, Thursday but Friday is just a minute away!)
I’m also showing my sketchbook page for this morning; a couple of red amaryllis from my backyard. I have a whole row of these bright beauties.
It’s been a busy week and I have a few other things that got done, if you’d like to go to the main page you can scroll down and see what else I’ve been up to this week. Welcome to the party!

Love the mother and child! Great anatomy and gentle watercolor, turned out perfect. : )
Melisa they are both stunning! The IA painting is just amazing and the color in your Amaryllis is to die for! Can I ask what type of watercolors you use? I’m searching for some good ones and don’t want to just rely on ratings on the web sites I’ve been looking at.
hello,
your mother piece shows great tenderness, so lovely
and your flowers are wonderful to see as well.
Both paintings are done superbly. Love the color contrast of the mother/baby work. Fantastic! 😉
These are both gorgeous. I love the script around the flowers and the mother and child is simply stunning – you’ve really captured the feeling of love between the two.
This is just beautiful! Love the babys face.
Beautiful work! I LOVE the mother and child painting. Beautiful and sensitive emotion in your work.
So adore your mother and child, so full of serenity. The flower is gorgeous, so vibrant. Have a great weekend, Annette x
WOW, your “Mother” piece turned out just beautifully! Very well done…I can feel the emotion! excellent water color work, too! xo

Love the softness of the mother and baby. We’ve all known those moments. Great job. Happy PPF!
I left a comment a few ago but it didn’t take. Had forgotten to input the required info. Just wanted to say that your painting of mom and child is fabulous. Very soft with a lot of emotion. Love your Amaryllis too. Those flowers are beautiful. Happy PPF!

These look wonderful! What a tender moment between mother and child! And your flowers are lovely!
Gorgeous flower. The mother and child are beautiful and so full of emotion, you can feel the peace.
These are beautiful… it is always such a pleasure to visit your blog! I like your robot altered book page too 🙂
After seeing your altered book page for Sunday Sketches I’ve started seeing them everywhere… I had never heard of them before! Who knew?!? (Apparently everyone but me! ha!) Well, long story short – I think yours are fabulous!

The mother and child postcard is adorable…and the flowers just complete the picture. It shouts “new life!” as does the baby in the pc. Beautiful work!!
Such lovely paintings. The one of mother(?) and child is so darling. Thanks for your kind words on my sea shell paintings. I do appreciate it.

How sweet and the flowers are beautiful. The mother and child really stirs up deep maternal feelings for me. Both are beautifully done.
Your art is stunning! Always amazes me to see watercolor done so beautifully.
These are so lovely!
The mother and child are so serene. Gorgeous. (Rats – don’t think I will have anything on that theme for IA this week)
Amaryllis IN your GARDEN? WOW! I think of those as an indoor Xmas plant. Beautiful!
Melisa: Beautiful Work! I so have to do a sketchbook – your sketchbook piece is frame worthy even! Very talented!
oh your watercolour of mum and babe is just sublime…captures that precious moment so beautifully and tenderly. LOVE it! Your amaryllis piece is gorgeous too! unfortunately we had to banish our plant to the bathroom because it was causing major hayfever! So its lovely to be able to see your beautiful blooms 🙂
You asked what size my painting was….it was on an 8×8 inch box canvas! x
So touching and tender, Love it!!!! and your flowers are so pretty, Well done on both pieces!
Amazing talent, both pieces are beautiful and with so much depth and feel. Beautifully done.
Annabelle : )
They are both out-standing pieces. The Mother and Child really takes me back…who know those moments would be gone in a flash…

This is great so glad you played along with us at IA!!
Hi! I didn’t play on PPF this week. So glad you did though because I love these. Especially the Mother and child for IA. It is beautiful!
So sweet and lively.
What an incredibly sweet painting, full of a mama’s compassion and nurturing….makes me feel like snuggling my cozy little cuties. You have captured a precious moment that we wish could last an eternity. Beautiful!!
The flowers are gorgeous! The color came out perfect, and I like the layout. Very nice!
Wow! Absolutely stunning..both pieces are beautiful..the mother and child is incredible…shine one..powerful work!
