Isn't that wonderful? I could pick your work out I think in a crowd of watercolours, and yours would be the work I love.<br /><br />This is lovely.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-82222932597720961732009-05-29T21:58:43.593-04:002009-05-29T21:58:43.593-04:00Your limes are FAB!

I'm glad you were inspired by the Demuth paintings at the Cezanne show, as was I.<br /><br />BTW I was inspired to play around with making grays by your previous post. I found that one of my favorites was burnt umber and french ultramarine. It has a very large value range and plenty of opportunities for warm/cool effects, plus some texture to boot.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00679901355127305724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-91656398626671263182009-05-28T07:56:43.864-04:002009-05-28T07:56:43.864-04:00Fresh and crisp... just like limes!Fresh and crisp... just like limes!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186138266137470331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-47998443792076840472009-05-28T07:01:48.393-04:002009-05-28T07:01:48.393-04:00I like the deep blue (teal?) behind the white, gor...I like the deep blue (teal?) behind the white, gorgeous contrast.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-28996414423730259622009-05-28T06:38:58.998-04:002009-05-28T06:38:58.998-04:00The shadows are really lovely.

Its your use of colors that make it so that the simplests subject becomes art. Posted my coconuts that I did in '95. Also we have a similar passion for little watercolor boxes.
