a little water colour for this afternoon


what blooming weather we are having here !!
i think we have had a bit of everything thrown at us today
anyway  seeing it’s been horrid i thought i would   water colour paint the Geisha
from Jayne’s new stamps not done much water colouring of late
 P1040957
the nice thing with water colours you get to add  back grounds once your finished the image
will make it into a card later got to get some tea prepared in case the power goes off again
hope you have missed the thunder and lightening where you are
