30 in 30 - #22: Festive Treasure

This is the final week of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta!

I have never painted jewelry before, but I think I will do it more often now!  I enjoyed noticing the light shining on the smooth beads.  The red ones are my favorite with the white ones a close second.  If you have a few fun baubles in your jewelry box I highly recommend composing a painting.

30 in 30 - #7: Double the Fun!

I am having too much fun with the watercolor water droplets!  Here is a double feature...two colors, two droplets.  I worked a little too fast and had a few flows outside the lines (so to speak), but such is the nature of WATERcolor.  :-)

Try it yourself by following this demo by Barbara Fox!

Take a Dip in the Surf



This tiny beach scene was inspired by a recent watercolor class. I have worked lately to loosen up my painting and like my progress. Watercolor seems to be a good medium to practice letting go of control! It forces me to allow the blobs of color and water to flow as they will and use these flowing blobs as part of the creation process. Bottom line...I had fun with my little watercolor kit!
