As I mentioned in my last post, I'm taking part in The Summer of Color party over at Kristin's blog - Twinkle, Twinkle. The prompt for week one was one of my favorite sweet colorful summer treats, rainbow sherbert! Looking at her inspiration photo I immediately thought of the sunset and bright bold zinnias at the local plant nursery. I sat down to sketch and in a surprisingly short period of time had whipped up a wee friend for this week. Here she is, Miss Zinnia:
She's done up in watercolors and measures in at 4x6". This was my first go at a proper sunset as well as those big poofy flowers and overall, I'm very pleased with her.
Are any of you playing along?
Miss Zinnia is zeelightful!! Great! Hope you are feeling the creativity flowing through.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, Danni! How funny that we are on the same wave length. LOL! Great minds and all. ;-) Hugs, Sweetie.

ReplyDeleteSo cute! This is beautiful and it looks so calm...Extremely pretty! My daughter would adore it :)
ReplyDeleteOh this takes me back. I always, always, always, always wanted a flower fairy doll when I was a child and imagined the games I would play with them amongst my Mums rockery... so did she I reckon and that's probably why I never got one! Haha!

Beautiful painting for the SOC. Annette x
