Hey, I think spring
might be on the way. This morning I saw
crocuses, peeping their way up through the weeds. The plum trees buds are about to burst into
flower and of course the daffs and jonquils all have been flowering for a few
weeks. Then I realized it August now,
where has the time gone? I just had to
get my gouaches out and do this little gem.
I think I like them better for some flower studies as they have an
opacity that you can’t get with watercolours.
This is the only bit
of painting I done this week. Most of it
has been taken up with finally, finally getting my illustration website up and
running. I decided last week I had to do
something about it and got cracking.
Most of it was done so I went to registrar my domain name and guess what
I couldn’t have it, so had to think of new name, and settled on Rainbow Splashes. Then
I had to change my header, logo and so on!!!!
Then I went through the hassle of uploading it. I had problems and finally emailed my host,
it was their mistake, so it was all sorted yesterday, phew! So now I am online, I do have pages for my
painting and journal art so if you would like to go and have a peek here’s the
link;
Now that the challenges are all over I hope to get some serious painting next week, here’s hoping nothing will interfere. Got to see the surgeon
about my shoulder,
hoping that he will decide all is well, although I have to admit it is giving
me a few hassles, probably overdoing it!
So everybody thanks
for visiting and have a wonderful week.
Linking to PaintParty Friday thanks to Eva and Kirstin for hosting, a stellar job.

ReplyDeleteOh, Sharon, I adore crocuses, and yours are lovely! I'm so happy for you that you've gotten your illustration site up and running. Technical stuff can be such a pain in the neck! It will be worth the effort. I'm going there to check out your new site now. -Terri
ReplyDeletewhat an absolutely lovely flower - webwork takes forever I sure know LOL I've been putting off putting up a site for months
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower, Sharon. I think the crocus is such a hardy flower, often coming up through the snow around here. Thanks for the get well wishes. I think I'm fine. I had cataract surgery which went well, though I had strange visual disturbances for about 26 hours. I think it was the anesthesia.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous crocuses! And congrats on the new webpage! Very nice! Nice to see all your artwork there!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy, and your flower is beautiful! xo L.
ReplyDeletegorgeous Sharon!

ReplyDeleteThese crocuses are so pretty! Your brush, paint eye, and hand do a fantastic capture!
ReplyDeleteI do hope your shoulder is well too!
A delicate and lovely crocus painting. I did a second take when I read that spring was on its way until I realised that I am on the wrong side of the world. Although it's august, thoughts of winter keep popping into my mind.
ReplyDeleteHope the shoulder improves.
Wonderful blossom, dear Sharon. We are going with great steps to autumn and in your Country is spring. It´s always a miracle.
