Sunday Sketches - Watching the Sunrise

I've noticed the squirrels being very busy at this time of year, scurrying around, up and down the trees and burying lots of nuts everywhere, even in one of my planters according to my husband M.  I hope this doesn't mean we are in for a harsh winter.

Welcome to Alexandra's Sunday Sketches. I did an acrylic (6.5" x 4.5") on cardstock today. It's called 'watching the sunrise'. I'm really happy with how this piece turned out, a bit of whimsy.

I like your mermaid - very colorful! Do you have this posted with Sunday Sketches yet? I am wondering if I don't have the right link because it is 4:30 am Sunday and there is still no link on Blue Chair Diary...

I love your memmaid paintings. Both of them are really pretty. You should see The Little Mermaid statue that sits on a large rock in the ocean in Denmark. I would love to see it myself, someday!

Our squirrels have been very active lately as well. Unfortunately, I did read that this winter could be a harsh one! :-(

I love your mermaids. So whimsical.

oh your little mermaid is so cute!

Laura said...

Love the serenity in this Christine. Squirrels... hmmm... I'm not too happy with my cute little visitor this year as he eat all my rose buds. Something he hasn't done before and hopefully something he will forget over winter.

Such great creation! I wish I could paint too but I can only express my creative side through words.

I would love to get to know you more in the future through your posts. Would you like us to follow each other? Take care! :D

It seems like I am getting here later and later for Sunday Sketches sorry... maybe I was meant to get here late though as we had a sunrise that looked just like that this morning... I didn't see any mermaids, but maybe they were a bit shy...xx
