If you have read my blog you might have caught the entries about the farm/farmers who saved us during the flood in southern Indiana 3 years. Well, I finally got to painting the cows on the farm. I will never forget the cries that they made (mooing noises) as the waters were up to their bellies. We all (got a southern accent from that experience) were up in the upper right hand window of the hayloft (haymow).
We visited there in June so I was able to take more photos. I am planning on getting this painting made into greeting cards. Then I will be able to send them some as a little reminder/gift.

Winter Dunes at Sunset
watercolor
10" x 14"

About 45 minutes from my house are the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. These are along Lake Michigan. Since it has been so hot these last few days, I thought this would cool us all down a bit. What did we do before air conditioning?

My sister-in-law's sister sent me this photo to work from. Melissa and Bob like to ride their bikes all over the city. I have never eaten here, but I think I would like it. lol.

Sunset
watercolor

10" x 14"
This is the painting that I painted Sunday night for the daily paintworks challenge. We had a photo to work from, but I like doing my own thing. The photo just had the water and I made up the rest. I also made up the sunset. It was fun. Enjoy!!

More Woods
watercolor
10" x 14"
landscape
Hopefully the last for a while, in my green woods series. I made this painting a little warmer in temperature. Was that because it was 104 degrees today. lol. It has been so hot and humid this past week. Just had to throw 2 pots of flowers away. I hope I can find some new ones tomorrow. Recouping from my eye surgery didn't help since I was not able to bend or lift anything. Sorry flowers. It was either your death of mine.

Goose Necks
watercolor
floral
14" x 21"
These are one of my favorite flowers (I have so many favorites). These actually look like a goose's neck. These grow all along the side of my house. Even when their blooming season is over, the foliage is still pretty...and green.
