Just to Get My Brushes Wet

Having not painted in a while, I decided to try this rose in a small 6” x 6” square format just to get my brushes wet again.  This was done on my usual Saunders Waterford 200 lb. paper working wet-in-wet with mostly the Quinacridone watercolors of Coral, Pink, Rose, Magenta, Violet and Gold.  It accomplished my goal, and I am pleased with the result.

Ready to Take Flight

Having enjoyed browsing, and having become a follower of, blogs of artists whose work I admire, I’ve decided to create my own.  For the past two months, I’ve been sporadically working on my blog, as well as a small watercolor painting.  They are both finally done and ready to take off.

I would like to use this blog as a way of sharing my art with other watercolor artists.  I will also share other noteworthy news.  I don’t expect to be posting as actively as others, but will try to build on this start.

My appreciation to all of the artists who share so much of their wonderful art and advice in their posts.
