Sometimes its a struggle!

Just so you know I'm doing something.  It's been a work of trial and error.  It's a new paper I've never used and probably won't again.  And I'm trying a mixture of acrylic and wc.  I'm not altogether happy with it and it may go the way of many a painting.  If so, it will be replaced ,by something better I hope.

ON MY DRAWING BOARD. It's Coming, slowly, slowly. Lots of interruptions

Getting back in the groove.

After not working in watercolor for a few years, I'm finding it slow going.  Just trying to get my brain in gear.  It's been a pretty busy week and I'm having to work short periods  intermittently.  Hope to have something to show you next week.  Bare with me.

Watercolor from my Past (sold)

Sketch of the "Frog Prince"

Back to the Drawing Board

After taking a week off while I dug out my studio, checked my supply of watercolors and arches paper and made a severe effort to clear my head, here I am again.  When I do watercolor I like to have fun.  The heading of this blog is a partial sample of "The Seven Deadly Sins as Personified by Frogs".  I decided I needed to let my brain frolic for awhile.  Hence, this sketch.  I'm not sure where it will go.  I hope you will bear with me, make comments and even offer suggestions and critiques while I wander through la la land.  If I can find the pics I'll show some of my previouse adventures in w/c.

Different Direction

Well, it's Monday and the Gallery is closed.  This is my day to think things over.  My thinking is that I need a change.  So, I'm going to work in Watercolor for a little while.  I like to do totally different things in WC.  It always seems a little more playful to me.  My life seems to be in a bit of limbo right now so it turns to fantasy.  I'll be back at work tomorrow and hope you'll be watching for something a little offbeat.
