Just playing a little bit more today with the paints and finished an atc. It is a sunflower or sun. Not sure which one. It could be both really. I have these sunflowers that look almost like this with sharp points for petals. So its probably a sunflower.

Sunflower Maiden Miniature Painting

Just finished a miniature watercolor painting this morning. I love the colors in this one. I think I have an attachment to sunflowers lately. I really need to pick up the brush more than I have been. My goal is to make more time for everything I enjoy and do it more.

These are so hard to photograph. They look much better in person and much sharper. I will have to explore that some more.

New watercolor and pen and ink ATC's


















Finished these 2 watercolor ATC's today. The one on the bottom is a sketch I did for a handbag idea a awhile ago. I really dont know how I was planning in doing it but it worked out perfect for a watercolor illustration. Thats about all I have time for today.

Sketches for watercolor

Its so hard to get a good picture of sketches. These look pretty dark but hopefully the photos I take after they are painted will be better. I will be painting these tomorrow and posting them if they are worthy of showing. The garden always seems like a good subject to paint and I really like to draw womens faces too. Seems like I am always going back and forth between the two. I haven't gotten good at drawing the body yet so I will stick with faces for now.
