Day 15,Watercolor, Pansies

30 in 30 hosted by Leslie Saeta.


Sometimes the art muse just doesn't show up quite when you want her to. Sometimes you just have to start without her and hope she eventually comes. This painting was like that. Usually, I feel like I've just stepped into comfortable shoes when I pick up my watercolors. Not with this painting. I started it last night, I drew it out and began with the flowers. It just wasn't happening for me so I went to bed after an hour. When I got back to it today again I struggled - starting with the leaves. Eventually, it happened, I once again became comfortable. Some days are like that. Glad we made it - the muse and I.

Pansies

Watercolor

5" x 7"

$50

And I guess that makes some days so terrific when you're in the zone with the muse from the beginning.
Until tomorrow...

Day 23, Watercolor and Pen, Foxglove

Foxglove

Watercolor and Pen

8 x 10

$65

Another flower considered "old fashioned". I love watching the hummingbirds feed on these beautiful flowers. I don't always have the best luck with plants returning from the previous year so I make a point to plant at least one new foxglove each summer.
