I would also like to share my watercolor painting that I have just finished.
I started painting this picture for a wedding gift for a sweet young couple who will say their vows this coming weekend. When her parents heard about it they asked me to include the bride and groom's names and wedding date on the picture. I was kind of stumped by this request and couldn't think of how to accomplish it. This is what I came up with : ) The picture is framed to an 11 x 14"
I cut the letters with an old QuicKutz alphabet from the same watercolor paper.
My love for painting in watercolor happened when Jill Foster and I took a watercolor class in about July of 2017. I have not spent as much time as I would like practicing this craft. This is my third "frame worthy" picture LOL and even though it is far from perfect I think my young friends will like it.
I just realized I never shared my second picture here so I will do that later this week as well.
Thanks a bunch for stopping by! and don't forget to visit the Penny Black blog to see the darling peeks they have prepared for you!
BIG (((HUGS)))

Oh how beautiful, your watercolouring is amazing and how wonderful to have crafted alongside Jill. This will be treasured Patti.
Oh my goodness, Patti! What a wonderful talent you have, in addition to beautiful card making skills. This is gorgeous! I think you did an outstanding job on this watercolor. Your friends will treasure this gift. Thank you SO much for sharing and I do hope you find time to "practice" (although I think it does look perfect) more watercolors and that you'll share them! Wow!!
Well it looks perfect to me Patti! You worked their names in beautifully. Wow what a gorgeous gift, they are going to love this!
Once again, I've fallen behind in commenting and for that, major apologies. Just overwhelmed with card-and-tag making...and dithering about when to send cards given the Canada Post situations. Not good excuses, I realize...
Your painting: OHMYSTARS! The newlyweds will love this, as do I! Gorgeous flowers and the personalizing...stunning! A keepsake they will treasure!
Hoping to visit more regularly in the New Year and will aim for 'drop ins' as often as possible between now and then.

Your little sneak peek is so cute! Hope you'll eventually share him with us! Your watercolour painting looks amazing! What a fabulous gift - they will love it!
You've created a beautiful keepsake. The tone on tone names/date works so well to not detract from your soft watercoloring. You are a talented lady!!
Patti, You Did It!! I'm so proud of you, and your talents abound, my friend! The request for personalization would have stumped me, too - but look how beautifully you've accomplished it without deterring the eye from those gorgeous blooms = cherry blossoms, perhaps? Bravo, Patti!

Oh my...this is absolutely GORGEOUS Patti!! Your water coloring is FABULOUS my friend and I love how you added the names and date with the tone on tone cardstock! What a gift to treasure this will be!! Makes me wish I was getting married all over again...kinda! Have a wonderful day my friend! :0)
So pretty!
I loved the sneak peek. But that water color painting is absolutely gorgeous and I love how you included their names and the date. It will be a gift that will be cherished forever. You are so very talented. I love it and I know they will too.
Absolutely stunning and so very beautiful and amazing water colouring Patti. You are so creative and clever. So delicate, so unique and now I have run out of words to say....I love how you incorporated the happy couple's names and date too x.
On a selfish note....I would keep this and put it in pride of place in my home and buy one for the happy couple!!! LOL x
Wow Patti!!! What an incredible piece of artwork you've shared here!! I just absolutely LOVE your gorgeous watercolor! Such a soft and elegant feel with it!

Beautifully done my friend and thanks for sharing! HUGS
A very beautiful painting. You should be proud! Am sure the bride and groom will treasure this.
Oh WOW your painting is absolutely stunning Patti! What a beautiful gift they will treasure. Very clever how you managed to add their names without distracting your eye from the flowers :)
