Watercolor days

Growing up, my mom and I always did art together. One of our favorite mediums is watercolor. She was down for a visit last weekend and we decided to have a watercolor day.

Here are some of my painting:

Tilt - A play on perspective...

Tilt

Tweey Bird II - I loved the pen and ink version of this I did in the sketchbook swap. Since I drew it in someone else's book - I had to send it away! So I wanted to paint something for me!

I'm working on another painting right inspired by some photos of Venice. I can't wait to finish it!

I admire watercolorists. The amount of technique is very intimidating to me...but not to my wife.

I am also impressed with the variety of techniques.

Thanks for showing your work.

Hello, I am glad I came by this blog. What an interesting post! Sounds like music to my eyes and I love poetry so much.

Also, I see you are a rushdie fan as well. I'm reading one of his books, the satanic verses, have you read this and what are your views?

I would like to return and comment further on your blog if you feel a counter visit is worth some of your time?

Cari said...

mrspao said...

Great use of color. Looking through you blog makes me want to knit. With the weather turning cooler here, I just want to warm up the world with a nice new blanket. I wonder if that is a tall order for a first time knitter........I must get started on this soon.
