Happiness is a journey

Oh boy, I'm late for Illustration Friday again! But better late than never!
The inspiration for this painting was this wonderful quote:

"Happiness is a journey, not a destination"
~ Ben Sweetland

so true, don't you think so?

I've painted this illustration with watercolors on 8.5 x 11 paper.

Happy Easter friends! I hope you have a great time :)

...end of winter

Winters in Canada are very long ... but spring is almost here,

green grass is growing everywhere and birds are singing!

I found some dried plants this weekend when we went for a walk.

The last pieces of winter...

Red morning

I was stunned by color of the sun this morning. It was bright red!
The moment I woke up I jumped and took a few photos of the beautiful light!

No Photoshop editing! It was really like this! WOW!

It only lasted a few minutes and after that clouds came down and covered
the whole city and everything was in deep fog...

Illustration Friday - Duet

Probably you remember the sketch of this illustration that I did back in 2010.

It's been a while that I wanted to color it with watercolors and finally I did!

I made two prints from this painting, one with old paper background and one

with white background. Which one is your favorite?
