Spring Storm

Spring Storm.  Watercolor. Approximately 8.5 x 10 inches

It's raining again.  Which, look at the mood of the painting!  Even though I almost never paint directly from real life, I think the weather affects my painting's moods. 

The redbuds were late, and I wanted to cut some branches to paint them but didn't really want to be out collecting things in the rain.  Maybe later this week?

If you're interested, I've started collecting paintings by palette on Pinterest.  It's more for me, but it's interesting to see.  You can find that HERE.  And, I put most of my progress up on Instagram, including a previous version of this painting, and you can find me HERE.

Several people have joined the mailing list--welcome! 

Finally:  Indanthrone blue, quin burnt orange, quin red, and nickel azo yellow on 300 lb fabriano rough.

Winter Saturday

Winter Saturday.  Watercolor & Crayon. Just under 15 x 22 inches.

Yesterday it was cold, gray and snowy.  Miserable. 

Today it is beautiful, and we're talking about grilling for dinner.  The weather is moody, and it is making it hard to finish my painting. 

It's not a great photo--there were a lot of dapples in my space (the nerve of the sun casting shadows).

Quin orange, indigo, quin purple, and hansa yellow medium with a little crayon above the horizon line. 

You can see this painting before I added the crayon here.
