For Matt

More water color - this time it was for Matt... he doesn't get many things done specifically for him. But everyone loves a little Dave Matthews Band- and we just went to see him this last summer in Jacksonville. So I made this for him when we found out about the new job. Now it is hanging in the living room. 

I don't post much about family life any more... but Matt is a pretty awesome guy. 

Randi's Shower Invite

Still playing catch up. I am not sure how many invites I will be doing now that we have moved... I guess I will have to figure out other reasons to water color? This was my second watercolor- I think.... I've lost track a bit.

Everything on this invite was created in pieces and then scanned in and moved around to create the invite. Which is really fun and forgiving. The elephant now hangs in our living room... cause he is so cute! 

The invite was printed onto watercolor paper.

The gift is up next!

Dabbling in Watercolor - Micah Edition

After painting the picture of Bella I wanted to find one of Micah to paint. I figured I would look back through the archives and find on at the ocean but ended up not having to when I snapped this picture while we were in Tahoe for my cousins wedding. 

This time I remembered to include the original photo so you can see where I started (The post with Bella's watercolor has been updated to include the original photo as well)

Water is hard. I love the way it turned out and am completely happy with it. But I think it's pretty obvious I could use some professional instruction! 

Dabbling in watercolor

I started playing with water colors this last summer. Here's my first one of Bella at the pool. Both the kids recognize who it is so....at least I did something right! Haha

**Edited** to add the original photograph... sometime I am slow to think of these things!
