Day 58: Mother's Day (and the start of "Watercolor Week")

This week I'm in Kentucky. Today I was with my mom and the rest of my family for Mother's Day. Here are some watercolor sketches-- the first more of a comic sketch, the second more (sort of) realistic. All this week I'll be watercoloring and capturing my visits and travels. Stay tuned...

Day 39: Art Wallpaper for your Screen

Lately I've been trying to take pictures of and document all of the paintings I've created so far (see a select few here). Today I created different-sized images for use as desktop or screen wallpaper for various devices (desktop computer, iPhone, iPad, Android... hopefully you know the one you need for your device).

Day 26: Readiness

Today I created readiness. Not very exciting, you might say. But getting things ready for creativity is just as important as the process of creating.

I set up my easel, got together all my gouache paints and even put water in my painting water jar (an old coffee container which I've used for 3-4 years). In the images below, you'll find the setup and also the painting I plan on getting started on soon. It is a complement to another painting I've already completed called "Red Cloak."
