Paint Party Friday - Roses

Inspiration Photo

welcome to Paint Party Friday! I did a greeting card in permanent marker (3 1/2" x 5") based on a photo of some roses I had taken.

Sunday Sketches - Mother's Day Mare

Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day for Sunday Sketches today.  This is a sketch in my art journal in watercolour crayon (8 1/2" x 11").  It's an expecting mare, I thought it would be perfect for the occasion.

And here's a more traditional Mother's Day offering.  I saw these beautiful roses at Walmart.  My favourite were the pinks as pictured.

Roses in the Church Garden

Son K has to do a movie review for school on the movie 'Eat, Pray, Love' starring Julia Roberts, directed by Ryan Murphy, co-produced by Brad Pitt.   So we watched that on the weekend.  It's based on the book by Elizabeth Gilbert.  The main character is on a journey of self-discovery.  A writer from New York, she divorces her husband, moves in with a handsome guy for awhile, still very discontented with life.  She decides to travel for a year.  Her first stop is Rome where she EATS a lot and seems happier.  Before long she goes off to India to meditate and PRAY.  Finally it's time to go to Bali where she faces the prospect of finding true LOVE.  I must say Bali looked very appealing, wow, so beautiful there.  I normally like movies like this, but I kept expecting more from it.  Oh well.  Have you seen this movie, did you like it?

When I went to church the other day I took these photos of some roses blooming in the church garden:

Magical Monday - Roses
