Yesterday’s Painting

This is yesterday’s painting.  I had wanted to post it last night but the light was too bad to take a picture.  This morning’s light was of course better, but the colors are not true, (despite all my editing attenpts) as the original has more pinkish red through out. Thirty Paintings in 30 Days

Paintings 17 and 18 and A Sketch

Monday again!  It rolls around so quickly. Today I have two water color paintings for you and a sketch.  First the sketch which I did in color pencils so I couldn’t erase my lines, a suggested exercise by Jane Davenport.   Painting Seventeen is another drippy water color girl. Painting Eighteen is water color also […]

Paintings 15 and 16

Hi everyone!

Painting Nine

You may have guessed by the title of this post that I am still behind.  I did do a tenth painting, but I’m not happy with it, so I still owe one more painting. This is my ninth painting and face. It is a mixed media drippy girl, and, oh, she is so much prettier […]

Painting Eight

Well..

Day 4 – Glorious Possibilities

Another watercolor girl.  I think the heat has influenced my painting and made me paint her to be so light and airy and summery cool. The words read: “every once in a while              should she imagine?                        glorious possibilities  […]
