with the name Frectibaldur. One lovely summer evening he decided to discover the world outside his pond. "I will have to hit the road before nightfall, otherwise the great old owl will have an eye on me", he said and so he leaves the pond and jumped into the lovely warm summer evening...

Yes, it's a kind of bubble mania and I can't stop thinking about new motives with bubbles still inspired by www.watercolourinspiration.com

Once again, I was inspired by the June challenge MAGICAL DRAGONFLY AND BUBBLES at JEAN HAINES online art class. The peonies at my garden are this year like wonderful great pompons in white, rose, and apricot. Sadly their season is over, but the last ones I have cut for a bouquet and paint them. During building up the composition the idea of some bubbles and dragonflies appears and I've finished it yesterday as a Midsummer Night's Dream.

The goal was to make it lose and fresh, but I failed again. So I must pick more strawberries and try it again,  and again and again ...

How exciting!! We are on a real safari with Jean Haines, unbelievable many elephants around us and we have a lot of fun. All these magical colors of Africa, the unique light, and the beauty of these outstanding and mysterious giant animals fascinate me. I love this Art School of Jean Haines very much.
