My first orange grasshopper. I can see a lot of grey and some green ones here in our yard, but this one was very interesting and bigger.

Me and my husband got this white orchid for our 1st wedding anniversary, but I didn’t realise that there it was yet a smaller gift as well. 🙂 Thanks Mike and Antoinette.

Last week I finally sat down and did some painting. It was a long time I hold the brushes and mixed the colours and I always wished to paint one of my favorites shots. After this one I definitely will paint some next and share them with all of you.
The painting is called “Tight Hugh” and was made by watercolors on A4 format art paper. It took me about 4 hours.
