Cactus Monday: watercolor ATC


I bought a new pan set of watercolors the other day and decided to try them out for Cactus Monday. Here's another 10 minute ATC to be given away as soon as I get enough made. I originally said all members would get one, but I think I'll only give them away to members who have commented on my posts here. You're the only ones I really know!! Happy Cactus Monday!

  5. What a lovely watercolor and idea.
    Your CD went into today's mail so keep an eye out for it....and do hope you enjoy using it.

    I saw that a watercolor class is being offered in a few months at our local community college. Might I give that a try next? Maybe, perhaps...we'll see.

  11. Even this is a simple piece but the effect and message from it just so touching!
    Indeed a heartfelt piece.
    You have captured the beauty of cactus with watercolour so well.
    Making me feel so uplifting, easy and comfortable.
    For this reason, I always love your beautiful artworks.

  17. I keep taking double-takes on the cacti. The only thing growing up here are the kintergarteners.

    The composition is perfect, and the needles don't look painful at all!

    heeeeeeeeee♥

  18. This is so lovely. It's like you painted your essence into this cactus. I am a fan of Teri C, we met on flickr a while back and then we continued watching each other's blogs. Your blog is lovely, and I love your blog header.

  20. I love this it's so beautifully done. I find watercolour painting very difficult - you've captured the essence of it - soft and full of amazing colours with great composition.
