The Last Foof of February

Well, it’s almost Spring, and in the meantime, while waiting for flowers to bloom and save me from the horrors of winter, I’ve surrounded myself with flowers indoors. 

Besides a tiny bit of online shopping for the quilt and shams in previous posts, most of my “rosy-up the house” make overs have been switcheroos from one area to another. Or digging things from cabinets to bring out and reuse. 

These roses are some that I painted years ago, and the tiny framed pieces had been on a shelf in another room. 

There is a new piece here.  My BFF, Beth, gifted me with a folding mirror for Christmas. It has a gorgeous picture on the front, and I’ve sat it up on the cabinet top, nestled behind some greenery. 

This cabinet top got shuffled around and I added some projects  made in classes over the years.  They are sat in front of a watercolor I’d done ages upon ages ago, but will never be tired of.  

There are always happy memories tied up in the decor when I can incorporate pieces from past art events!

Ps- These  are all paintings that I have done myself.  The watercolor marker tricks I will be sharing at A Song of Spring are meant for art journaling, or smaller projects.  But the techniques behind them are universal.  Learning the basics for cute doodles can be the start to learning how to paint something to hang over your mantel.

 

details for the class are here:
