Quick Update

This has been a fun and busy week with trick or treating and visiting a Discovery Museum with my sweet little granddaughter.  When I arrived back home, there just seemed to be too much to do, but what else is new.  This evening I finished a new watercolor that I had started earlier in the week.  I had a lot of fun with this one.  I guess I have said that before!  I started this by applying spray gesso through a stencil, applying a watercolor wash, then stenciling watercolor through some sequin waste.  I then sketched and painted this interesting flower pod picked from my Pilates teacher’s beautiful garden.  The border represents a stylized image of the pods.  If you look carefully in the upper right corner you can see the images of the rubber stamp I carved inspired by the larger flower pod.  In the current on-line watercolor class that I am taking, we now need to dig in to our closets for material and inspiration.  Stay tuned....
