oh deer....

We still have such a gorgeous weather and we take full advantage of it every day. We take Tess for  walk on our beach almost every evening. The days are already noticeably longer and sunsets are beautiful! I am working on lots of things as usual,  tomorrow I plan to start refinishing more pieces of furniture.  I bought  some new watercolor supplies today and had fun drawing this buck deer. I like to upload my pictures to the computer and use different filters and backgrounds to digitally enhance the image.

Stale mame nadherne pocasi a plne toho vyuzivame. Skoro kazdy den chodime s Tess na dlouhe vecerni prochazky po plazi. Dny se prodluzuji a zapady slunce jsou nadherne. Ja, jako obycejne, pracuji na vsemoznych projektech, zitra mam v planu renovovat dalsi kusy nabytku. Dnes jsem si koupila par novych "pomucek" na malovani akvarelkami a zabavila se kreslenim tohoto srnce. Jak uz jsem psala minule, rada si upravuji me obrazky digitalne v pocitaci (pozadi a ruzne filtry) a tenhle neni vyjimka.

 Lots of flowers are already in bloom.
Kytky se zacinaji probouzet.

Posledni dobou jsem lina tahat fotak. Proto tedy ty zrnite fotky (malo svetla v podvecer) z plaze, focene jen  iPhone.

Kdysi jsem se tady zminovala o tom ze rada maluji. Kazdy ctvrtek se schazime s partou stejnych nadsencu. Tento tyden jsme zhledly prezentaci Briana Buckrella, ktery nam predvedl svou techniku malby.

I mentioned here before, that I like to paint. I belong to a painting group that meets every Thursday. This week we have a workshop with Brian Buckrell. It was very interesting and lovely day.

Tyhle nadherne kytky jsem nasla na Snowybliss blogu. Snad se vam budou libit tak jako mne a treba si take udelate latkovou kytici :)

I found these fabulous flowers at Snowybliss blog. I hope you like them as much as I do and maybe you give it a try and make a nice fabric bouquet too :)

A jeste fotka Maka. Vic jich najdete na blogu me dcery.

And last but not least photo of Mak. You can find more of them at my daughters blog.

Preji vam vsem krasny zbytek vikendu.

šašek - jester

Pomalu postupuji s timto obrazem.Vetsinou maluji jednou tydne se skupinou opravdu fajn lidi.Malujeme par hodin,potom mame hodinu obed a pak znovu na par hodin zpatky k malovani.Od jara do podzimu mame prestavku,protoze kdyz je hezke pocasi je tezke se kazdy tyden schazet.Je to znova skoro za mami a ja bych chtela dodelat tenhle obrazek nez zkoncime :)Zacala jsem malovat pred tremi let,nemela jsem zadny vycvik a mam velke stesti,ze muzu byt ve spolecnosti tehto talentovanych lidi.Dve maji webove stranky. Saskia a Brenda ,at se vam libi :)

I am slowly making progress with this painting.I usually paint once a week with a really nice group of people.We paint for few hours in the morning then have one hour lunch and then back to work for another couple of hours.We have a break from spring to fall because when the weather gets nice it's hard to meet every week.It's almost over again and I want to finish this picture before that :) I started painting three years ago,I had no training but I am very lucky to be in the company of these talented people. Two of them have a website. Saskia and Brenda, enjoy :)

Chata

Konecne jsem domalovala obraz nasi chaty na Sazave,kde jsem travila kazde prazdniny.Moje babicka ji vlastnila se svym bratrem a ted patri me tete.Babicka uz tam zavita jen zridka (ze zdravotnich duvodu)ale protoze tam jezdila od svych 20 let(ted je ji 82) myslim,ze obrazek na ktery se bude moc kdykoli podivat ji potesi.

Ukazka toho,jak barva zmeni naladu kompozice.Nevim ktere variante davam prednost,pro mne je to nostalgie tak jako tak.

A co vy,barva nebo sepia?
