Sunday Sketches;more shells

Shells found at the beach
This week was a busy week and not a lot of time for art.
Henk and I went to Wellington last weekend, the Capital of New Zealand and we had two nights away and did a bit of shopping and went to Te Papa, the National museum.
I had one afternoon this week to paint two more watercolour shell cards, but this weekend I prepared for my art teaching tomorrow at Gate Way trust, we are doing "painting" with old magazines, I will show some of the work next week.
Hope you all have a wonderful week ahead.

Colours in purple and blue this time

    Your beautiful watercolor shells remind me of my youth growing up on the Atlantic Ocean in south Florida. Oh, how I was fascinated with the shells as a little child....especially the Conk shells and the sounds of the ocean I could hear when put tip to my ear. Your work is stunning. The colors are lovely. I hope you frame these and hang them on your wall. Happy week. genie

      Thank you Genie for your lovely comment, I love the beach and we live very close to the Tasman Sea. You must have found different shells to the New Zealand shells in Florida. When I am walking on the beach I always take something special home.

      Thanks Lissa, I use a little bit of glitter on my cards so now and then, like a sparkle from sun light.

    Exquisite shell painting. Beautiful delicate colours too.
    I adored my time traveling around both the North and South Island of New Zealand. Very fond memories.
    Happy Sunday and I wish you a wonderful week ahead.

      Thanks Neesie I love painting with watercolours. So nice you have been to New Zealand. I live in Upper Moutere, near Nelson on the top of the South Island close to the Tasman Sea. Have you been there?
