Painting 22
This painting looks like something straight out of your kid's backpack after school. That's not necessarily a bad thing! I wanted to do a super simple tree by dabbing on the paint with a large, saturated brush. (I did change to a rigger for the trunk.) And even though this painting will never make it into the shop, I learned something from painting it, and that's really the whole point.

Painting 21
Familiar content, but in acrylic. I really like to take a certain subject then paint it in a variety of media.
In the background you can see the palette and paint tubes:

Painting 19
watercolor on arches paper, 9x12. another painting where I'm not crazy about the work as a whole, but I love some of the details, which I've featured below.
Painting 18
watercolor on arches paper, 9x12. I'm in love with a lot of the details in this painting, particularly the texture of the pots.
Painting 17
watercolor on arches paper 9 x 12
I'm not crazy about this painting, but I do love the detail at the bottom, which is reminiscent of roots under the surface. Sometimes a "bad painting" begets something good which you can use in a future painting.

Painting 14
watercolor on arches paper, not quite finished, 9x12
sometimes you think a painting is finished. then you see a photo of it and realize there is still work to be done.
