 Happy last day of February to you!

 Winter is still hanging on here.  

Somedays the fog is so thick you cannot see beyond the trees.  

No butterflies on this butterfly bush,,,,that is for sure but then

somedays are beautifully sunny.

Winter always lets me know who was prowling around in my garden.

Somedays I even get lucky and see one of them off in the distance.

Hope February was good to you...let's see how March begins.  What do you
think ,,,,a lion or a lamb?

Merry Christmas-Frohe Weihnachten 2014

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2015!!

Out My Patio Door 9

 As I sit here and work on my projects I get a wonderful show from nature.

What a nice view out my patio door....

 compared to this....

What a messy time of  year around here.  

It does me good to look up and see the beauty of an amazing sunset.

We have not had any snow yet.  It has been so mild and I know when the snow

starts falling it will probably be a lot deeper than on this watercolor of mine.

I hope you are all enjoying your early November weather.

Pantone Color of the Year for 2014

 What a beautiful color isn't it....very radiant indeed.  

all fotos Pantone Pinterest

I did not know that orchid was the color for 2014 when I made these

Xmas cards.   

 These trees were cut out of kleenex boxes.  At first I thought I would cut out EACH individual

mosaic stone,,,,well, after I cut out a few I quickly changed my mind and just cut out the 

shapes of a trees.

  The scraps after all that cutting.....or a big mess......

but after much painting, splashing and tearing it made me a nice stash of Xmas cards.

Here is a link for Pantone too.

The color of the year for 2013 was emerald green and for 2012 was tangerine tango.

So tell me,,,,what do you think of this year's color of Radiant Orchid?

Out My Patio Door VII

I have a bad case of spring fever.  Who wouldn´t after so much snow.

 The snow is finally almost all melted.
I cannot wait until the view out my patio door is spring-like.

The sun decided to shine today and I was admiring all the shadows from the trees.

I was thinking that I will eventually start painting these shadow patterns

 in my sketchbook.

Then all of  a sudden I looked up......

 It´s a bird, it´s a plane...no just another helicopter.
You never know what might fly by.....

I really thought that by now I´d be sharing fotos of my tulips or something,,,,anything that
might resemble spring.  No such luck. Winter just does not want to go away this year.

 The joys of winter as seen out my patio door.

 A nice sunny winter day.  

I used these three shots as part of the collage in my header.

I hope you are enjoying winter.

The Present

The Present

This year´s Christmas bear comes bearing gifts.

Maybe he visited your house.

Summer in Winter

Considering how much snow we have gotten over the last few days I really

had to read this sentiment a few times today...especially everytime I went

out to shovel a bit more snow.

The joys of a German winter.

Winter Forest

 Painting some winter forest cards.

Soon my surroundings will look like winter....till then I am enjoying

the November sunshine.

Have a good weekend.

Out My Patio Door

This was taken yesterday morning.

Yes, I live out in the middle of nowhere

but I love it out here in the countryside....away from the

hustle and bustle of the city.

The winter sunshine was trying to break through. It finally

did and we had a wonderfully sunny winter day.

I hope your weekend is full of sunshine.

New Fallen Snow

Winter has finally arrived in southern Germany.

The new fallen snow blankets the land far and wide.

One of my watercolors of a stream nearby.

I had to shovel out my driveway....I´d rather be painting.

How is winter treating you so far?
