Grandma Floyd's Pineapple Lime Desert Recipe

I recently went through my grandmother's collection of recipes - all yellowed and fragile.  A little photoshopping, and this is what I came up with.  (p.s.  I also made the dessert - delicious!)

Freebie - Birthday card ready to print

Here is a birthday card I drew and painted.  To print it, just click on it and save it to your desktop.  Once there, open the image, select Print, select paper size  of 8.5 x 11", image of 5 x 7", preview to be sure it will print on the correct side of your page, and print.

Write your own message inside.  Maybe something nice like "I see it got there in time", or not so nice but funny, "Sorry, I should have overnighted it". 
Enjoy your day,
Cindy

Rainy Day Dreamin'

Today was rainy and cold, what a great time to stay in and paint.  This is a little female cowbird I had a photo of. . . . she looked so cute with her head slightly cocked.  I've included the sketch so you can paint her too.

Summer Memories

Painted last summer, one of my beautiful hibiscus....I hope these plants made it through the winter to bloom again in the spring.
Have a great day

You Paint

Your turn, use this drawing to practice sketching or painting....

My painted version was posted earlier.  I sometimes have a very hard time being inspired to paint or draw, so here is a little free inspiration for you.  I hope it gets you going!
Have a great day.

Playing Around with the bird

Since my bird painting on handmade paper wasn't really very good, I started playing with paintshop's special effects, curly cued, tiled, and lastly, patterned.  It was fun to see all the different ways a picture could be treated.

Lastly, a rose I sketched from my garden.  You're welcome to print and paint it, please have fun with it!
I'd love to see your pictures when you finish.
