I finished the umbrellas - same way I started it - just a dab of paint, a word jotted down, a moment at a time... done. It is a fun journal page to look at.
Each time I hold them I think that I'm like Jack and the Bean Stalk...I'm going to plant them and I will wake up the next day with a magical stalk climbing to the sky! OR - don't they remind you of a Jelly Bean from a Harry Potter movie...maybe flying bayou turtle flavor! I just had to color them on a journal page... so here is my paint party friday sketch -
I have had tunes running through my head all week. While dabbling with the umbrellas I kept singing, Rain Rain go away - come again another day... then singing in the rain.... then purple rain, purple rain... you get the idea - What songs about rain pop into your head looking at the umbrellas??? Then I got to the beans and was Bus Magic Bus... now Beans Magic Beans!
They are actually Scarlet Runner Bean seeds...they will attract hummingbirds!!! They climb 6 - 10 ft even if you only provide a string!
Thanks to Kristin and Eva for hosting Paint Party Friday's!!! Love everyones' work...all my blog hopping is inspiring, encouraging and educational in my own artistic journey!
cheers, dana

Raindrops keep falling on my head...I love your journal page and creativity with the beans. If they happen to grow into a large beanstalk, grab a goose with golden eggs for me, will ya?

Great drawing, and mental images to go with it!
Happy PPF!

It is a fun journal page to look at. Lots of color. Umbrellas and all. Nothing like rain on a Spring day. Have a great weekend.
Love those magic beans, and all the umbrellas...April showers are in my neck of the woods for sure. :-)
oh the umbrellas look fab! I like the beans too. A moment at a time really works, it gives you a chance to think about it and make it better.
Oooh magic seeds! How very exciting that would be (as I look at the snow falling outside my window, it seems like a distant dream! ha!)
I love the cheeriness of your finished umbrellas :)

Singing in the rain, what a glorious feeling, I'm happy again...my mom used to sing that to me when i was little! Love the spring songs, and purple rain - of course i love prince!
Love the magic beans, too - hey you never know...i think hummingbirds are very magical! xo

Your journal page turned out lovely.
Have a happy weekend & PPF! Theresa
I had beans on my mind too - though a different kind!
I love the look of scarlet runner beans in a garden. How nice someone gave you some!
Fun pieces!
Yes, the umbrella page turned out great! And I LOVE your magic beans! ;)
Love the colorful journal page and your magic beans. I hope to see them growing tall in a later visit.
How cute umbrellas, colors like margaritas. Hugs
I think of the song "Who'll Stop the Rain". Great paintings, both of them. Guess I have to be good and not mention what song popped into my head over the beans.
Your umbrellas are so much fun and I love your magic beans! Can't wait till I can plant some, too. I woke up to snow this morning! Ugh. Spring can't come soon enough.
I love the seed drawing. Very good! Spring is coming!!!!
Thanks everyone - just a few pages that worked into the week. I do have a couple serious projects on the table and hope to get them going - darn real job just takes up sooooooooooo much time!
cheers, dana
