Watercolor Sunday and Saturday's Color: August 2017

Surely I've mentioned before that once we hit September on the calendar, I feel like we're running downhill into the new year!  Indeed.

But this post is for August, so here are my Watercolor Sundays on Facebook:

August 6 (photo manipulation):

"Promise me you'll always remember:  You're braver than you believe,

and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." 

(Christopher Robin to Pooh) --A.A. Milne

August 13 (photo manipulation):

"August is a gentle reminder for not doing a single thing from your new year resolution

for seven months and not doing it for the next five."  --Crestless Wave

"August rain:  the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born.

The odd uneven time."  --Sylvia Plath

August 20 (photo manipulation):

"Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago."

--Warren Buffet

August 27 (photo manipulation):

"When summer gathers up her robes of glory,

And, like a dream, glides away."  --Sarah Helen Whitman

Of all the designs I've ever colored, this was by far the most labor-intensive,

taking me 2 full weeks and 3 weekends.  I should have kept track of the hours.

Let's just say I felt I had sewn a quilt by the time I was done.  :)

This Viking Colouring Book design always makes me laugh,

not only because it's called a "pair of gripping beasts," but because of the "eyes" at the top.

Wouldn't you love this as a clock/watch face?  :)

From my Celtic Stained lass Coloring Book, everything black you see 

is part of the black-background page and not colored by me.

This is the book that uses translucent paper for its designs.

Now join me as we slide down the hill towards the holidays and another new year!
