This range is part of Mingus. Just south. You can see this from just about everywhere in town. I just love the crags and crevices. Are they crags in America? Or is that a British thing? OK, too many period pieces for me. OK, confession time. I painted this backwards. Traced it backwards on the paper. What? How? Ha ha ha! It was late, and I was NOT going to start over. Didn’t see it until the ink was dry.

I was in the mood for pen apparently. A style I would like to be better at. There are many styles I would like to be better at. Ha ha ha. Here is number four. And oh, yeah. More yellow flowers. I was trying to recreate flowers I did on this postcard. Well, trying to create them better. HA! That will teach me.

There are other subjects I would like to paint for #WorldWatercolorMonth. Maybe I will do flowers for a week, and then switch. Maybe.

Have an awesome 4th everyone!!!

These next two I am calling works in progress. Not happy with them at the moment, but maybe when I look again they won’t seem so bad. Still, I will tweak them a bit.

The prompt for today’s watercolor is primary colors. These were all painted yesterday afternoon and evening. I am caught up! Again! Today I will be painting #92 along with the other project participants who are painting. I have to admit, I lost my mojo a couple of days ago. Snoopy was in my head. “BLEAH!” But he is gone now. Back in the groove. Even if some of these pieces are not very groovy.

Everything came in pairs today. Two bunnies, two crows. Two tiny birds on the fence. Hmmm, maybe it’s going to rain.

Now why didn’t I catch that? I had three chances to spot it. Just noticing the horrible shadow along the left that shouts, “BAD SCAN”. Uugghhh, LOL. (fixed)

I painted the WWM piece first today. I mixed paint, and had enough left I decided to use it on the Mingus painting as well. I LOVE Naples yellow. Really dig it. I mixed it with Cerulean the other day, and was blessed with the prettiest, soft, warm green.

There are two different blues in the sky, and touches of Naples.
