Sunflowers

It feels like summer, so that means it's time for sunflowers.

Daisy

We had a vase full of happy daisies, so I used them as inspiration for my watercolor daisy.

Abstract Anemones

For my birthday I received Jean Haine's Atmospheric Watercolor book and I've been so excited to try one of the exercises. Her style is very loose and abstract, which is what I would love to be able to achieve, but am unable to so far. I tried out her anemone exercise first. Her style, while it looks effortless, will take a lot of practice to get good at.

Poppoes

I was going for abstract poppies. They seem like such a simple shape, but it's like the apple all over again.

Sunset Clouds Attempt

I wanted to make soft, fluffy pinky clouds. I'll have to try again.

Two steps back. Though I do like how some of the colors mixed together.

All Mixed Up

Just seeing my watercolor palette gets me excited to paint more--it's just so pretty!

Wild Flowers

I painted a few little sketches of wild flowers. I like how dainty they look. Next, I need to combine a handful of them into one composition.

Pink Flowers: I've Lost the Magic

I just painted a wonderful abstract flower and then I produce these two less than fabulous paintings. Guess I won't be paying any bills with my paintings anytime soon.

Abstract Flower

I painted this abstract flower without much planning and I love how it turned out! I don't even know how I did it. Hopefully I can make it happen again.
