Another,like the other....

I am enjoying my limited palette and quick wet on wet morning paintings.

This could very well be my Christmas card. The colors didn't photograph as rich as they are. The colors i used were my old favorites,that i haven't used in while. They are; sap green, ultramarine and perm. rose. When i first started painting these were my go to colors. Although, admittedly i was more into controlled painting at that point. Now i love the flow and bleed and freedom that watercolor allows.

I painted this before work this morning. Sat down to look at another painting that flopped and started to play. The painting is actually a bit darker than this i had to photograph it in the morning before the sun was up.

Today's work....

Pinks are a bit 80's i need to add more dark colors.

So much time has passed....

So much time has passed since i last posted. No excuses a few failed paintings and then this... not my favorite but a post at least. I have missed everyone and now to visit your blogs:>)

I seem to be stuck on sunflowers. This painting needs a bit more of something? I will try, try, try not to overwork it. I thought about Charles Reid and Jane Minter as i painted this. Admittedly, both painters have different styles,still they are two of my most admired painters. So in painting this I thought about both painters yet tried to keep my own style. Having said that, i will definitely need to add more of ...... ?

It's been a while since i have painted i haven't been feeling well, and quite preoccupied by it all. Hopefully,now i will be able to concentrate on painting a bit more. ( happily)

Very interesting show on television Bravo,The Next greatest artist. The show is a competition among artists given challenges from arty folks.

One more time!

I added some additional color and highlights .

Challenged

Saturday morning is my favorite time. The first day of the weekend - freedom unfolds itself in all of its glory and allows me to choose what i want to do with my day. So i decided that i would look for inspiration, i told myself that the first picture of a flower that i saw i would paint and well, this is the result. Rather boring actually but the color is good.
