Day 12...Intuition

So yesterday was a bust...after a long day at work it was grocery shopping..steam cleaning the bedroom carpet because the cat had defiled it with his stink...then dinner.

Made it to the studio for Day 12 and had no idea what to paint, so I just started laying down some water and color to see where it would take me.  Work is super busy and I haven't been putting much thought into what to paint, so it's a struggle sometimes.  This didn't come out too bad for just an experiment...

Days 8, 9 and 10

Well...I painted all weekend and ended up trashing everything...so days 8 and 9 ended up in the garbage.  I painted this winter landscape and I like everything except the foreground....there's always tomorrow.

Day 7 - Sunset

This is a small watercolor, more wet in wet and some wet on dry.  Looking forward to the weekend when I'll be able work on something a little more involved.

Day 6 Paint 30 Paintings in 30 Days - Pops!

So I'm trying to find exercises that aren't too involved...I'm not looking to crank out a masterpiece after work.  This was a fun little experimental exercise in watercolor...best thing was that I found a bunch of unopened tubes of cheap watercolor...it was like a late Christmas :)

Day 5 Feathers

Just some quick exercises...not a lot of time after work.  Watercolor feathers...

Day 4 - Poppies and a straw

Day 4..and I managed to paint for a couple of hours after work. I painted some feathers too, just because.   Found a tutorial with a wet in wet poppy and grass made by blowing the paint through a straw....so much fun to experiment :)

Day 3 - Paint 30 paintings in 30 days

Day 3 is a little winter scene, done mostly wet in wet with watercolors.
