I’m now on Twitter if you want to follow me, I’m “AudreyJeanne”  I found Dixie already and if you’re on it make sure you do whatever it is you do to invite me to follow you.  I’m such a techno nerd at this stuff!

Okay, okay, I lied sort of!!!!  I fully MEANT to get this up yesterday, but life got away from me!  This is my new White Poppy Fields digital clip art kit.

These poppies grew in my yard in San Diego.  We had about 25 feet of them lining our creek.  They grow to about 5-8 feet high and have the most amazing fragrance.  Each flower is 6″ to 12″ across and looks like crinkled crepe paper.  I’m pretty sure these were the inspiration for the Mexican crepe paper flowers you see when visiting the country.

To paint them, I have to take digital reference photos, sketch as quickly as possible and sit down and paint them in one sitting.   They literally change before your eyes and before you’re finished painting them, the flower that is before you looks nothing like what you sketched!

I am still working on my devotional, it isn’t finished yet so I’ll post this and hopefully come back to it later today.
