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!

  5. 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.

  6. 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!
