Dandelion ~ Watercolour Wednesday
I was having a hard time thinking of what to paint today. Then I remembered that I hadn't done one of these little dandelions in a while. So here you go! Dandelion 2.5 X 3.5"

WaterMEDIA Wednesday ~ Playing with the Gelli Arts® Printing Plate
Today I'm veering away from my watercolour sketches and sharing three prints I created with my Gelli Arts® Printing Plate . I had recently purchased some new paint, Golden Open Acrylics . They stay wet longer than regular acrylic paints and I wanted to see how they work with the Gelli® Plate. So, I went out into my yard to find something interesting to use. Well, something that I have an overabundance of is Dandelions! A couple of these are combined with some fronds of a fern that I have in the house. I have to say, that I had to force myself to stop after a while! This is way too much fun and ADDICTING! I really liked using the Golden Opens for these prints. I think I will try to put together a bit of a step by step demo one of these days here on my blog. Although there are tons of info out there on the net about Gelli® Printing!

Autumn Dandelions
The other day, when I was wandering around the yard, I noticed one brave dandelion that had gone to seed. It seemed unusual to see it at this time of year, surrounded by the golden autumn leaves. I was inspired to paint these three small watercolours. Each one is 5" X 7" and are available in my Etsy Shop . Buy all three and get a 10% discount!
Digging out the Sketchbook!
I decided to get out my garden journal sketchbook, but there wasn't much yet to sketch that I hadn't done last year. The only flowers that were blooming in abundance were these dandelions! It felt good to get outside with the pen and paints!
