A Little Landscape

I was just playing around with some paint and started to see this small 5x7" image. I liked it enough to keep going, called it done and blogged it.

      So many thanks, friend! We have about 4” snow this morning. It’s beautiful but tapering off. I can try painting a scene but a lot of it would stay white and unpainted with so much needing to stay white.🥴

    Wow Barb, if this is just playing around I can't wait to see your art when you are serious. :) It is beautiful. Well done my friend.

      Aw, thx Nicole. Actually this is a bit serious for me. I seem to relax more without being stressed by small exact details.

    Thanks Debra. Choosing and mixing color is one of my weak areas. Our watercolor instructor most often uses the actual names when referring to colors. I don’t know many of those yet. So much to learn!

A Reintroduction

Image
Years ago I kept a blog, mostly sharing creative projects from our NJ location I thought would never change. However, life did bring changes and after 46 years in NJ, we now live in beautiful New England. We downsized to a very old historic house in Massachusetts that we fell in love with the first time we saw it. We have spent most of this year settling in and making it our own. My choice for being creative is still painting, but I’m now taking a class in watercolor, something I could never get right. What I’ve learned is that it’s much more involved than I imagined. So I’m going forward with a wonderful instructor, and I look forward to each weekly class. I’ll start this first post with a few favorites and am open to any and all suggestions. I’m looking forward to blogging again, topics not limited. Just post what you have been doing since last we “met”!

Keeping It Simple

Image
The best advice when I was trying to set up a blog after years out of practice was from Kathyloraine (aka Kathyinozarks). She wrote "keep it simple". I'm still feeling inept compared to what I used to do, but at least I have learned how to share and comment. Taking a watercolor class has helped since I enjoy that a lot and it gives me something to share. This small 6x6" watercolor was inspired by our recent weather. It's so white everywhere here in MA and it's not melting anytime soon. There is no green left on our trees, but I left some in my painting. I tried to depict a bit of snow flurrying by splattering some white paint. It worked but not as much as hoped so I went back to keeping it simple.
