Tulip. 4 x 6 watercolor on Arches 140 lb. cold pressed paper. © 2016 Sheila Delgado
A quick exercise before bed a few nights ago. After two uglies, I managed this tulip. The next night, last thing before the lights went out. I found a scrap, and painted more Ocotillo. No time for painting. Just to keep my sanity, I try to find a few minutes before bed to play with color, and water. Put brush to paper.

Happy, Joyous Mother’s day to you!
What a perfect way to end the day – more happy flowers in beautiful colors!!
Thank you JJ. Sure am loving your calming Zenscapes 🙂
Good for you to make time to make some art – the small pieces count .
LOL. Yes they do Corinne 🙂 I just feel better when I can paint a little. Happy creating to you 🙂
Thanks. I know about the tiny pieces making you happy , or at least a lot happier than not creating at all. Happy creating to you too.
Just finished another one, before lights out. 🙂
That’s a nice way to go off to sleep…with those images the last things to see before dropping off. Love the foreground on the desert plant..
Cool, glad you like it Corinna. Hope your plans are running smoothly 🙂
Keep up those late night sketches! The tulip has personality! He just wants to dance! And I love the composition of the ocotillo painting (I had never heard of an ocotillo, so thanks!). The larger foreground- love that!
A dancing tulip, love that thought Laurie 🙂 Have a super week!
Both are so pretty!
Muchas gracias Kat 🙂
Usted es muy bienvenido!
Ah, bien. Gracias mi amiga 🙂
Your tulip is the same color as one I had in my garden this year, sadly died off now. I like the foreground in your Ocotillo – very desert like. Have a great week.
You too Val! And thank you 🙂
great idea to do something before bed. Christine
I feel better afterwards Christine. After thinking all day of painting and not being able to :-/
Hi Sheila, great to see the late night sketches and know that you’re minding your sanity with color, water, brush, paper. The best kinda play! Love that tulip color and those top-o’-the-hill ocotillos standing tall and proud.
Yup, I think so too Dotty 🙂
