Artists in the NE forum - show us your work

Patches is my sweet dog, Laurel.

Yes, I fell off the art wagon when I moved back here from Arizona to live with my sister and father after my mother passed on. Now my sister and I share the responsibility of taking care of our elderly father who has dementia, plus I work full time and take care of the gardens the rest of the time. Plus I fit in some socializing time here and there as well. No time left for my art. When I do have extra time I'm on the computer replying to threads on DG, buying plants on the auctions or reading. I watch a little TV here and there, but little time for that, too. So my life is pretty full. Hopefully one day I will have more time for art again. For now I work on scanning old sketches and cleaning them up in the winter time, as well as doing digital photo creations with PSP8 and going through all the photos I took during the summer of all my DL's, etc. and labeling and making sure they look good, another time-consuming project. I need to clone myself!

I don't know where this street scene was supposed to be, but I thought it was nice.

Well, that's enough for tonight. All my other pics of my drawings and ceramics need to be scanned, and I probably won't have time to do that until sometime this winter, when it's too cold to get outside and do anything else.

Very nice, JoAnn!

All of your watercolors are beautiful. I wish I had time to paint for recreation - one of the reasons I planted the garden, you know! But I do take themes from the garden to use on my silk scarves and pillows.
This is a 30"x30" silk scarf with a design based on my little pond....

This a one -of - a -kind shawl, based on my windowsill garden (with a lot of wishful thinking thrown in)..

Lily scarf....

Those are all beautiful.
The pots at the border is clever and of course the lily scarf is beautifu.

Let me know if you want to see more, I don't want to hog the whole thread!
