It’s been a long time since I tackled watercolors, so here’s one of the most recent efforts. Cleared everything away, forgot about housework, and just settled in for the weekend…

Inspired by Mary Hockenberry’s marvelous photo. November is always a terrible month to get through–too many past losses to commemorate. I finally decided to paint an angel to comfort myself through this chill and dreary time.

Aha! I was never happy with the original painting (acrylic on canvas). So I started playing around with picnik and inverted it, then adjusted the color. Bingo! Something alchemic happened and now the image is more supernatural and mysterious…a computer can be a wonderful tool for planning…

A new watercolor, about 12″ x 8″. I don’t do architecture, so this represents a major stretch for me! Some liberties taken with the colors, just for fun…

I decided that it is time to really explore painting in water colors. I’ve been nervous about using them all my life, and only applied them to very small pieces. At least I’ve graduated to a larger format, and I’m not unhappy with the results.
