Paint Party Friday - Art Greeting Card

The is a quick sketch, an art greeting card done with watercolour pencils (4 1/4"h x 5 1/2"w), based on a photo I took in the neighbourhood. I was attracted to the look of the  wildflowers in the setting.

Linking to Kristin and Eva's Paint Party Friday.

What a lovely neighborhood you have. How nice to be able to take a walk and then come home and recreate the beautiful things you see. It looks like you enjoy your watercolor pencils as much as I do.

Does art relax you, too? Just looking at art relaxes me.

Christine, this is a great field of wildflowers. The rest of the painting reminds me of what I have posted for this week. I didn't have flowers, but lots of trees with watercolor pencils.
