try again

(5x7)

(5x7)

A couple of in-progress little paintings that I embarked on to give as gifts, but as often happens when I try too hard, I'm not happy with the way these are turning out. I may consider these practice and start over, hoping to not make the same mistakes twice!

Sorry, but I haven't seen anything that you've done that doesn't look top class!

In the top one your color is luminoius. I wish I could do that! But your primary medium is wc.....Lovely!

I see you've been baking, too! The composition and colors in the first painting is wonderful.I hope you have a good holiday Laura, spent with people you love. I've also enjoyed our virtual "chats" the past few months.

I like that deep yellow rose! And the eggshells have your lovely glowing loose style - I would say keep going too! It's been so good to 'meet' you and see all your lovely watercolours this last year - best wishes for a Happy Christmas.

Thanks for all the encouraging comments--I will keep working on the eggshells. Eggs really are one of the hardest things to paint--so easy to overdo it.
It's been a great year in the blogosphere; I've learned so much and seen so many and such various artworks--and, best of all, met so many wonderful people!

These are both amazing Laura... the luscious color of the bottom one and the quiet simplicity.. I would never ask for more!!!
