Paint Party Friday!





Visit my ACEO Gallery and See Details








Spring has sprung in Florida, and I am tingling with creativity! I want to paint flowers and butterflies and bright colors, and take deep breaths of the fresh Spring air. The sky so blue, with a happy sun warming the ocean waters....growing green and yellow all around. And when night falls, the birdsong of the nightingale outside my window. He sits in the mangroves and calls for his love....for Spring has sprung =)

This is my post for the New! Paint Party Friday blog party. Please come join the fun and see all the great weekly posts of other artists....just click the button link below. Thanks so much, Kathryn

    Love this painting! The soft colors are gorgeous and it is so Springlike! Can't wait until we have some budding flowers here in Illinois.

    Beautiful Kathryn! We won't be having flowers for at least another month! I like in your painting, it looks like the other flowers are dancing in the wind ;o)

    Kathryn so lovely. It's a warm spring day here in Maryland and that painting makes me long for more flowers to come in bloom...beuatiful.

    Spring is alive and well and singing Florida bird songs in your beautiful painting! Love the lime center of the flower and the white petals. You are very talented!

    This painting makes me smile. It feels all...."sunshiny." Is that even a word, probably not but it describes how it makes me feel. Thanks for brightening my day! :-)

    Ooooh - daisies are my favorite... they're so happy (and yours is absolutely beautiful)! I love this and am so intrigued by ACEOs - I've never worked so small... I might have to give it a try.

    Thanks for partying with us!

    Your flower is so beautiful! We were just in Florida. (Palm Coast) We had the best weather we have had in the 16 years we have been vacationing there. Made me want to move there. Just not sure I could take a Florida summer....

    Oh joyful Spring! It has arrived here in Altanta as well and although we don't have any nightingales, my bluebird's songs fill my heart!
    Beautiful flower and you really caught that soft sweet feeling of Spring.

    Yes Shelle, I am sweating too, LOL. Spring is short in Florida. We are hitting 80 degrees every day this week with low 60s at night. Hubby arrived in Michigan yesterday to the tune of 31 and snowing..a bit of a shock for him =0
    Thanks for the praise of my little daisy. I hope to see you at Paint Party Friday next week. You could paint some of those pink clouds of your Autumn sunsets...did you get a photo? I'd love to see....Kathryn
