Late Night Sketches

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.

Trying to keep it loose. Thought maybe I should add some depth to the clouds, a bit of grayish brown along the bottoms. It wasn’t showing well in the scan. Well, not much better here but you can get an idea.

Simple study, revised

Wishing you a peaceful evening.

This is the last of this series. Maybe I will do a series of series. I am so in awe of the artists who started this challenge with a theme in mind. I always think of something great, after the fact. Like Halloween costumes, or painting titles. Perhaps at the end of the month, I will look back and find, that I really did have a theme all along! It could happen, right?

I am having fun with the animation of the work in progress, I am glad you are enjoying them as well. I will try to do as many as I can this month.

If you haven’t already, I’d like to invite you to visit my friend Sea Dean’s blog. She has invited all the participants in Leslie’s challenge, to also post their daily paintings on her blog. She is giving prizes! To the most active artist, AND to the most active voter. You can vote for three artists a day. That includes me, of course. Join in the fun!

So much great art being created! Enough to fill the Guggenheim! Do treat yourself and visit Leslie Saeta’s blog today for a look.

YAY! Is anyone else excited that today is the first day of Downton Abbey in the U.S.A.! Everyone in this house is going to be glued to the tube tonight. Including my Dad, believe it or not.

Happy Sun Day Four to all the participants. And happy Sunday to all.
