As I puttered around the house this afternoon, I kept walking past this watercolor. It just seemed to need more, so I put a little more intense color to it as well as things further in the background. I was just going to add it to the original post but the program had other ideas.
Maybe I will just start a new one.
Today I saw a pastel by Tyrus Wong who drew for Disney for a long time (he died December 30, 2016 at age 106-he was brought from China by his father at age 9 in 1920)… anyway, this pastel I saw had teal color and a wispy feel to it and at the end of the day I decided to pull out the watercolor and paper. My intent was to find that same feel but the paint took a different direction and this was the result. I may or may not do more to it, only time will tell.
It has been a while since I did anything new and for some oddball reason, I wanted to mess with the watercolors again. The last thing I put on the sight was the result of that. This time, however, I was thinking less could be more but then……………….
One day while I was out and about, my normal activity, a friend had found a feather which was blue on one side and yellow on the other. It was pretty cool. So, I took a few pictures of it stuck in the wire of a latilla fence to take home and later contemplate whether it could be used for anything.
Eventually, I got out the watercolors and put this together, just foolin’ around.
This is another small watercolor that is similar to the first of this series. It was kinda fun throwing in a touch of red here and there as red isn’t something I use much of.
During my wintertime burst of micro-paintings, here is one with some purple flowers…. no idea what they are, they just kinda emerged onto the paper… enjoy!
That’s a question that I’ve been asking myself lately. I’ve not done much in the “art” field. Been a busy Spring and Summer with other things.
During the wintertime, I was piddling around with watercolor. I did a couple of medium sized pieces and several miniatures. I thought I would share them with my readers…… just not all at once.
Here’s one of the larger ones.
I came down sick with a bug the first part of the week….. been a couple three years since I had the pleasure. But something good came out of it. I had encouraged a friend to pick up the paint brush again after she had shown me something she had done some years back. Anyway, I’m here, confined to my house and I decided to get out my watercolors again. It has been awhile since I really had any desire to do anything in that medium. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised by what emerged as I sat in front of the fire with them.
