May Flowers


I am loving flowers...
quirky, non-realistic, whimsical flowers.

Maybe I am influenced by spring, or the beginning of May, 
(Um, hello. Where in the world did April run off to?)
or the planting we are doing around the house,
or just the ease of doodling flowers.


I am not sure, but I like how they are popping up everywhere.

  I found this inexpensive wooden canvas at Michaels.

The start...laying down pretty paper & color!
 I really prefer working on wood rather than canvas.
But I don't like having to add all the business to wood for hanging.
I think this is really meant as a tray type thing. (Like my technical language, lol)
I love the size and that it is ready to hang.
I don't have to add a hanger and it does not have a hefty price tag. :)

Into the shop it goes!
I hope you are having a happy Monday & first day of May!

  1. I love doodling. I bought a small journal that fits in my purse so I can whip it out and draw whenever the mood strikes. My nickname was Doodle in high school......

  2. This is brilliant! Of course I love all the bold color and whimsy - and agree with your techno talk! I totally get it - just found a piece of wood at my Mom's yesterday - I have never really worked on it - but am now inspired to try!
    Thank you too for your sweet comments - oh! And I pinned this! Check me out! NOW who's all technical, lol! xoxo
