Whew! Got lucky again. Started by sprinkling clean water on the paper. First the head, and then the petals. I see some things I would like to improve. This is more linear than loose, but I really had fun working on it!

Ok, you are going to kill me, but this song popped into my head while I was painting. Sunshine Day by that classic band, The Brady Bunch. I had to listen or go crazy. If you dare, just be sure to stop it before Bobby goes into sexy mode. I mean really, whose idea was it for kids to act sexy?? Totally dating myself, but what the heck if you get a kick out of it.

Enjoy!

Feeling warm yet? The day I painted this it was grey and chilly. Warmed me right up. I am having too much fun with the Mingus mountains.  I am going to take a drive next month and see what I can see!

Guess I could have added some clouds. But hey, just means I get to paint another one! I darkened the pencil line after the paint dried. I think it is just enough. I have to find that pen! Nope, it wasn’t in my purse.

Hope you are having an awesome weekend!

WOW! After two bad, I mean REALLY bad right-into-the-round-file pieces… this! Well thank goodness. Meant I could finally go to bed!

I started with watercolor pencil, and clean water splattered on the paper. Towards the end I was tempted to add watercolor pencil to bring out leaf shapes, but I decided to forgo the chance of botching it! I thought my stems looked a bit too beefy, but I like the overall look of this. I like the way the colors mixed, and there are some interesting blooms as well.

Hallelujah AMEN!
