Back up and running....wow -

watercolor, stamps, and embellished
watercolor with jamaican coral

last weeks post for PPF was a disaster!  I have no idea what happened.  Trying to finish up the post and wham...computer goes into a fit and that was that.  Sorry it looked so confusing with comments going a mile down before you could find them.  All is well now.  Took it in, had a virus that locked it up.    All tuned up now and ready to roll.  I, on the other hand, wish I was computer tuned so I could clean things up a bit better myself before it goes haywire.

pure watercolor
Anyways, hope you saw the wonderful ATC trade I had with Celia Bradshaw...Sirens of the Sea.  I had so much fun opening hers and LOVED the steampunk mermaid.  I posted hers last Friday so here are the 3 that I sent to her!


Again, thanks to Wendy at Bliss Angels for hosting these monthly trades.  I have a christmas collection she hosted in 2010 that is one of my most treasured trades!

I trust everyone is having a great summer, I can't believe we are about to head into August!  Wow, time flies is no joke! 
Looking forward to Sunday's post...I finished the Flamingo!!!!!
Thanks to Kristin and Eva for this wonderful place called Paint Party Friday!  Can't wait to see the featured artist!!!

cheers, dana

  8. I had my own computer issues the last couple of days--think mine was caused by the studio being so warm...

    :(

  11. Dana, I have just received my copy in the post of The Sketchbook Challenge by Sue Bleiweiss, and immediately looked at page 27, with your lovely Birds of Paradise. Great painting, lovely book, so thanks for the advice to buy it.

    Really like your mermaids as well. Jez
