May Flower Challenge - Day 14 - Hydrangea

I'm fascinated with flowers. 

They are all over my tiny apartment. I photograph them all the time.

I draw, paint, doodle them, create them out of paper...I also see them all over NYC. 

Each day during May I will post flowers and I hope that you will join in.

The only rule is that your blog post or flickr photo that you link much contain flowers.

The Hydrangeas are beautiful this year.

The colors of this pink one amaze me.

Thanks for visiting!

The May Flower Challenge...

a flower every day during May.

Summertime Colors

 I am linking up with 52 Photos Project today. 

The theme this week is Summertime Colors and I always think of flowers. I used to spend a few weeks each summer as a child at my Grandparents house in the big city of Milwaukee, WI. I and my little brother, no parents, it was so much fun. 

My Grandmother had some of the most beautiful roses and lush flower gardens in her back yard. In the morning she would tend to her garden while we would play in the yard.

My Mom now has beautiful flower gardens (which is where all of pictures included above were taken recently during a visit home) and I know in my heart that if I had a yard I would too. In the meantime, I visit the gardens of Central Park.

Visit 52 Photos Project to see the wonderful pictures of everyone else's interpretation of Summertime Colors.

Today I am also linking up with the Creative Color Challenge over on Louise Gale's blog. 

Her color for May is Pink and she happily gave us a good spectrum of pink. I chose to do a pen and ink drawing of pink flowers and share a few flower photographs.

My Mom's garden is just bursting with color.

I just love how the different the pinks are.

Day 19 May Flower Challenge - Letter Love

 Welcome to day 19 of the May Flower Challenge.

I'm fascinated with flowers. They are all over my tiny apartment. I photograph them all the time. I draw, paint, doodle them, create them out of paper... I also see them all over the NYC.

I like to doodle. 

I like good coffee, 

sand between my toes, 

the smell of the earth after it rains, 

hearing a child giggle,

the sound of a cat purring...

Sorry, I got distracted.

I like to doodle.

I have recently fallen in love with pens and markers, again. 

So much so, that during the past few weeks I participated in Joanne Sharpe's Artful Alphabets e-course. Joanne's classes are affordable. 

Her videos are informative and I had a lot of fun. 

I learned 25 different alpha lettering techniques. If you are lettering on your paintings and want to learn how to make it fancier I would recommend Joanne's class.

I love these pink Hydrangea. I can't get over how pink they were.

By the way, I think I want to do the whole alphabet in the daisy lettering that I did above. 

Today Superman and I are venturing to my favorite annual street fair in NYC - Ye Olde Village Fair put on by the Bedford Barrow Commerce Block Association.

 Juried artists, live music, and beer. 

So, if you are in the city go to the West Village and enjoy the day.

We plan to meet up with friends so come join the fun!

Hmmm, I wonder what kind of flowers I will see.
