While it is mid-winter and there is not much going on in my garden at the moment to document in my garden journal, I decided to practice painting watercolour flowers. I have begun A Flower a Day project, challenging myself to paint a different flower every day. I paint them onto watercolour paper, referring to photos taken of my garden last summer, then I stick them into my journal. It is a good way for me to practice using watercolour paints and I am loving the process. Sometimes I like to add mixed media embellishments, such as washi tape or fibres, to my mini flower paintings.
This is what I have painted so far.

Hi Kristah
I like your watercolour paintings very much, they are lovely and I like this frame arround them.
Flowers are my favourite theme also.
I always taught that I have no any skills in painting but I was always dream about It.
A few months ago I bought for myself box od watercolour paints.
I use them very often in my journal. I like to use waterproof pen to writing and Then I paint flowers on the top.
There look like flowers from Cartoon or painted by Child (I am 47) but I am enjoing doing this and brings me lots of Joy.
Your Garden journal is so nice idea and I am feeling inspired by your post.
Thank you for sharing

Thanks, Jola!
I only started drawing and painting a couple of years ago (I am 50) because until then I never thought I would be any good at it, either. But, like you, I always dreamed about it and now I just paint because I love it so much. The important thing is that it is bringing you joy. I love your idea of using waterproof pen to write, then painting flowers on top. It is something I would like to try in my journal.

This works always, especially when I write down about difficult emotions… Painting flowers on the top helps me let it go…

We definitely need more hours in the day, more time to paint and to write and to read…
