"A Good Scratch" by Leada Wood ©2016

Spring has arrived in Texas and everything is in full bloom! The blue bonnets are gorgeous  and the weather is fine. We have been seeing lots of rabbits at Dragonfly Farm but not any long eared Jacks. I'm not sure what has happened to them but they have been scarce for a while. I love to paint the lanky long eared fellas. " A Good Scratch " caught this Texas Jack rabbit enjoying the cool evening shade and kicking some dirt out of his ear. This painting is 15 x 22 transparent watercolor.

Happy Easter!

For flowers that bloom about our feet. For tender grass so fresh and sweet. For song of bird and hum of bee. Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

MOON FLOWERS BY LEADA WOOD, ARTIST OF TEXAS

MOON FLOWERS BY LEADA WOOD©

This one has been a long time in the finishing stage...thought it was done and then did a lot more to it and finally I think it is done! 

My mom and grandmother always had moon flowers, ever since I can remember. They only bloom at night and sometimes when it is a cloudy morning they  stay in bloom. I don't know why I have never planted them, maybe it is because I know they are poisonous and there are too many little flower pickers around our place. I think I may consider planting them at a distance where the flower pickers or llamas can't get to them. I am ready for spring!

This painting is 22x28 transparent watercolor and is available.
