Illustration Friday - Play

The theme at Illustration Friday is 'play'. Here's my story and I'm sticking to it. Yesterday I was playing in the garden and noticed the intruder, a piece of grass that had been there so long, it started growing seeds. "WHAT THE HECK," I said, "You can't play in here with all the Black-eyed-Susie's!"

And out it went! No more playing in MY garden!

Watercolor and a bit of pen (on the grass seed) in the Raffine sketchbook.

A beautiful painting and a most appropriate exclamation.
I have noticed a lot of "Playing" going on in our garden this summer.

Lovely painting and the composition definitely says, "Play!" You get so much personality into your painted daisies!

That lonely weed can come play in my garden. It's so overgrown that the pumpkins are almost hidden !
Shame on me.

These flowers are just so pretty! I love how delicate the leaves are - the shading and subtle gradations of color are perfect. I adore black eyed susans...I've been seeing them everywhere growing in wonderful masses of color, and they always make me feel so happy! Thanks for the story...naughty grass, playing where it shouldn't!

I really like the sunny yellow-green of this; not a dark element in the whole picture
