So here is another sketch ~ and some play action not only with the Peerless Watercolors, but with some of my Gelly metallic pens. I of course, love the bright colors, but I added a touch of red to the wheat stalks, and I really like how they add that bit of mystery and drama, which reminded me of the photos I took like the one above, which I posted about the Highwood Bench – wheat country in late July.
I also added a bit of Twinkling H2O’s to the background for a bit of sparkle. {and because it’s super fun!}
And you won’t be one bit surprised to see that I’ve added the infamous ‘white dots’ to the bottom of the page with my “Wite-Out” pen. What can I say? I love playing with it. Heck, I just love playing with art supplies!! {Who knew?!}
EnJOY. Be Thankful.
And pray for rain! We need it badly. Note: Joining a beautiful group of artists and encouragers on STUDIO JRU Friday! Check it out… you will be blessed!
Blessings~

the movement in this painting is so soothing
Oh my goodness… I *love* this. One of my favorites from you. Wheat is so beautiful and you were inspired by it wonderfully!! The colors are fantastic! 🙂
Oh Elle – ain't it the truth – to take time and look… LOOK… close… and EnJOY! Amen!
thank you christina – nice to have you here!
Thank you Laura; it's a pleasure to have you from Studio JRU! Love Bozeman area, but I feel that way about most of Montana! Thanks again!
Oh I love your wheat paintings. We lived in Bozeman for a few years. The landscape certainly does inspire. Stopping by from Studio JRU.
Oh, that's beautiful! So vibrant and live-feeling.
What a Creator to make such creations! We are blessed to be given eyes to SEE what is all about us and then try to capture in our own way. Just lovely.You constantly remind me to really look!
the shiny bits on the wheat berries are my gelly roll metallic pens. I know – they are gorgeous aren't they?! Thanks Margi – happy Friday girl!
thank you Cindy; I do love fall too… I feel as it's our sweet embrace and compensation for saying goodbye to summer!
Thank you Carissa!! So glad to have you stopping in!
yes let's do pray – even if it takes {just a little}…. SNOW!
So glad to hear it Jean! I love to play! Thank you so much.
Thank you Bev!
So blessed to find you, and 'meet' you here, too! Thanks so very much and looking forward to … more!!
Yes!! I have 'plans' for all of my sketches, Deborah! LOL thing is — time! But I do find it makes for great ideas… it's the execution in getting them done. I can't even write them down fast enough. But I find it (the sketching) really does help, and I want to try and paint this scene on fabric, and add STITCHING… 'itchin to stitch' soon… my eyes are better, and my new glasses have arrived!! YAY!
Gorgeous! I love fall, it is my favorite time of year…
oh my gosh that is beautiful!
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your sweet encouragement, so nice to meet you out here in the blogosphere 🙂 Your work is fabulous!!
I do love your wheat fields. Do you have any plans to interpret them in stitch?
Fun, fun! Yes, let's just pray rain – or snow – and get these fires out! As well as take care of the drought. Love your waves of grain.
I love to see the way you play! Beautiful!
Beautiful..! You have been blessed with such talent!!
I had to look twice because it looked like you had hand-embroidered chain stitchs on the paper but that must be the H2O's. Of course, it is gorgeous!!!!
