Two Birds by Latane

October is slipping away from us. This morning I felt Fall in the air. That's alright. I like the changing of the seasons. 

Now for a couple of birds for you today. This one done with graphic pencils.

and another, in watercolor.

Wildflowers by the Oregon Trail

On a trip back from Portland/Vancouver where my husband sometimes has to go to the V.A. we stopped at an historic marker and learned that part of the Oregon Trail crossed where we were traveling.  These beautiful wildflowers were growing by the trail and I photographed them and then painted them in oil.  Joining again today with Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday:

The Mountains by Latane

While I was at my son's house in Alabama for a nice long visit, I painted this watercolor. I've been told I do landscapes the best... but I do enjoy doing birds and flowers, too. Hope your week was filled with fun, happiness and art. Linking with Paint Party Friday
