So here is a little ( 4"x4") watercolor painting to get we mortals and Fairy's a like in the in the mood for some warm weather. I haven't decided on what I am going to do with Daisy yet, but hope you like.

I am a member of the Create, Collect, Trade group on Flickr and as I was checking this very artistic Blog, http://createcollecttrade.blogspot.com/ I noticed that some of my ACEOs were on the slide show. Well I never expected this and I cant tell you how excited I was to see my art work displayed next to some every talented artist. THANK YOU .

Have you ever wondered?

No photos today.... I have been on the Internet a lot lately, and I have noticed some very odd blogs, web sites and Etsy shop names. Some of these I get a big giggle at. Then I noticed that some of the names "I use on line" may have others giggling. Where do we come up with these crazy names????

I grew up with the name doodlebug, it was a nick name given to me by ( I cant remember) who. I doodle-doodle-doodle all the time I almost always have pen and paper in hand. As a kid I was always getting into trouble for day dreaming but what I was really doing was doodling, the creative doodlebug suits me just as well today as it did as a child.
Alfamom comes from (AL) for Alabama (fa) farmers (mom), so now you know how some of us come up with our unusual or odd names.
How did you come up with your on line names?

Still working with watercolors, this is (5"x7") I like how it turned out, but I am still a little rusty.

Lady in blue



Today I thought I would do some painting. It has been awhile since I pulled out my paints. But I was inspired by some artist on Flickr. I have never been very good when it comes to portraits, but this lady in blue was calling me to give it a try.

This one was done in watercolors. The other one is a fairy painting in acrylics, this one was done for my granddaughter.
