wip

(4x6 each Fabriano CP)

Uncertainly poking along on these, from photos by my friend Carol, who is a great photographer. Even when all of us are photographing the same thing, Carol's photos turn out better!
Peter's cousin Sean and his wife Angela have two beautiful little girls, Shannon and Catherine, and Angela asked me once if I do portraits. I don't ... but I thought maybe a picture of two little girls would do.

I haven't forgotten my earlier commitment to do a painting featuring a different design element from Marianne Brown's Watercolor by Design each week ... the week's not yet over! Coming soon: verticality.

You captured the angelic sweetness of innocence. Lovely picture. My goal for the month is to practice wet-in-wet watercolors.

Great goal, Jean! I have tried a few times, but haven't been able to let go sufficiently! I do admire so many wet-in-wet painters though.

I really like your people paintings. You should keep doing them, that's my vote.

Laura, this is looking really good. I love the freshness and the poses you've captured. I'm sure the Mom will be very pleased. Can't wait to see it finished!

This is beautiful! The colors are so fresh and the composition is very appealing and intereting. I look forward to seeing the finished piece.
