Happy Easter! by Leada Wood, Texas Artist

Happy Easter!


 
 
 
I had big fun with my little grandson Saturday dying Easter eggs for the family hunt tomorrow. Usually there are more of us dying eggs but the others were busy with other things this year. It was really nice to spend one on one time and enjoy him. Maybe next year things will be back to normal...whatever that is! From our family to yours Happy Easter!

Air Mail by Leada Wood, Texas Artist

Air Mail is 15x22 transparent watercolor on rag paper and is AVAILABLE.

I like rusty old mail boxes and they are becoming harder and harder to find except in very rural areas. They are being replaced with modern plastic ones which don't rust...sad. I do have lots of photo references as I take lots of photos whenever I run across some. I wanted to do a painting with a group of ravens and decided to combine the two and the title just seemed a perfect pun for the painting.

Don't you just love when the earth warms up and laughs in flowers! There is nothing quiet as beautiful as a garden in full bloom or a field of wildflowers. I am grateful to be able to express my love of God's beauty in paint. Thanks for stopping by.

                                            Sweet Retreat by Leada Wood, copyright 2014

I think it is officially spring!  I saw my first hummingbirds and scissor tail this week. I always look forward to their return especially the Hummers as they are very entertaining! Called nature's jeweled messengers they dart and hover and buzz around showing their amazing flying abilities.

Sweet Retreat is an 9x11 transparent watercolor on archival paper. This painting along with 2 others was juried into the Dutch Art Galleries Great Outdoors Spring show. There were 350 entrants and only 49 were juried in. I am honored to have been one of the artists chosen. The show is in Dallas, Texas and opens in May.
