A funny thing happened on the way to the trash bin...
The top painting was all but gone when i started to play with a more expanded palette, i like the blue outlining the parts of the painting. Middle painting, was getting a bit to dull for my taste so i added watercolor pencil and i think it added some zip.My grand baby needs a bit of blue under her nose. She is far to beautiful to paint and oh did i mention SWEET!
Love these three Cathy , absolutely adore your courage with the colors , beautiful ! The two last ones are my favorites , but the first one is interesting, too. Have a nice weekend.
Hi Cathy! Thanks for visiting my blog! I have had so much fun looking yours over today! Beautiful work and I love what you said a few pics down. "Play first and find the paintings later."

I'm so glad these three did not make it to the trash bin. They are beautiful and colorful and wonderful.
Oh and while you're granddaughter needs a bit of blue under her nose she is a real cutie!
Love these three Cathy , absolutely adore your courage with the colors , beautiful ! The two last ones are my favorites , but the first one is interesting, too. Have a nice weekend.
Such penetrating eyes on your granddaughter, and what a lovely subject she is!
Your flower paintings are always inspirational: daring and vivid!
Beautiful! I usually don't pick favourites but the middle one is amazing!!!
and I agree grandchildren are adorable!
