Today I would like to announce the winners of last week's blog candy. On the Paper Crafter's Library the winner of Water Droplets, Circle Cluster Set and Celtic Star 2 is Pat Taylor! From my blog post I would like to congratulate Lucy on winning Ornament Faerie, Celtic Dove Set and Heart of Light! I hope you both enjoy creating with these stamps :)
Today I am headed to São Paulo by bus. 16 hours of travel time but that feels like nothing after the 72 hour bus trip that I took across Canada last month before leaving to Brazil. Last weekend I met some wonderful distant relatives from Brasilia and went to the family country house. It was like a jungle of tropical plants! I went walking through the garden with one of my family members and we both picked a plant to paint. I was fascinated by a leaf of bright greens and pinks. I'm not sure of the name... I'm very inspired by all the different leaves here. Thinking maybe new stamp designs? We'll have to see ;) For now, I have a watercolour painting to share with you. It was a first attempt as I haven't painted from life in years! Hope you enjoy it.
Beautiful Ryn ! Congratulations to the winners of your beautiful designs and it's great to see what you are up to. Hope the bus trip goes well !
ReplyDeleteYour plant may be a caladium. Check out this website: http://www.bhg.com/gardening/plant-dictionary/bulb/caladium/
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to be a winner! I'll send an e-mail with my mailing details. Sounds like you're having a great time. The watercolor is beautiful! I hope you get more opportunities to resurrect older talents.
Congrats to o your winners. Your paining of that leaf is stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ryn,
ReplyDeleteI believe that's a Caladium leaf. Wikipedia cites the common names as elephant ear, Heart of Jesus and Angel Wings. You've captured it beautifully in your painting! Congrats to the blog candy winners!
WOOOOW dear Shirley this is really brilliant. What a great painting and such a beautiful colors like the picture.
ReplyDeleteLovely greet and hug

ReplyDeleteRyn, My home is in Lake Placid, Florida...also known as the Caladium capital of the world. Here is a link you might enjoy http://tourlakeplacid.com/node/39
ReplyDeleteYour painting is beautiful...if you ever decide to make a stamp, I would be REALLY interested in buying one. (there is only one Caladium stamp out there in cyberland, and it is not very good).
Hope you will visit and follow me at www.pennywardink.com.
