Thinking Spring flowers... here's a little piece I've mostly finished using the gesso and watercolor technique from Carla Sonheim's Flower Crazy class (link in sidebar).
Yellow crocus.
Have I mentioned I LOVE this class? It takes me awhile to get anything completed (my excuse is that the gesso takes a while to dry, and so I get distracted with some other project. *laugh*). However I AM slowly completing the projects, and having great fun with the techniques.
Abstract Roses
I have shading to finish, and finalizing the leaves, although I'm not sure quite WHAT I'm going to do with the leaves quite yet. And then other fixing of odd little bits. If I'm lucky, I'll get it done tomorrow. :)
Thanks for stopping by!

I laughed at your comment about the weather not yet knowing it is officially spring - so true - it's absolutely freezing here! I love your spring flowers - the abstract roses are gorgeous!
Bright spring and summery colors. The abstract roses are my fave. This really draws me in.

I love these! The soft colors and flowers make me long for spring also. It's been quite chilly even though the sun has been shining. Can't wait to open windows and see nature budding to life again. Great job!
Happy PPF - Love your crocus, such a clear bright uplifting yellow. The link to Flower Crazy looks really interesting I'm going to have to check Carla's course out!
Hi Helen. Hope all is well. Your abstract roses are awesome. Great job! Happy spring to you too. Great work and keep learning and having fun. I need to take some art classes too. Happy PPF!
It's a scroll saw Helen. :)It's easy to use. I'm careful too.
Ah, yes, crocus! :)
Your abstract roses are absolutely delightful, too! Love that texture you are achieving!

Lovely spring flowers. Makes me want to go out and plant flowers in my garden. :) HPPF
Ha ha you are so funny- I think it's been cancelled here in the UK! Hope you had a springy birthday pal. xx
Si! la primavera ya esta aqui! ha llegado primero a tu blog!
Such delicate little flowers. I really like your roses simplicity. often people are too fussy about painting roses and they can look a little overworked but yours are fantastic.
Beautiful crocus - I hope spring is truly on it's way! Happy PPF (on Saturday!)
Helen, your crocus and roses are coming out beautifully. No need to rush the process...everything in it's own time! Look forward to seeing them when you are finished. Hugs ~ Rhonda ♥
Both of these two flower pictures are cute and whimsical. I love them for the colours you used and the technique. It was great seeing them in person.
