I couldn't make it to my class today, so I pulled a couple of paintings--these two from last spring--out of a pile of unfinished paintings and did some work on the them.
I prefer to finish paintings in one go, or two or three, close together, at most. Usually if I put a painting aside, I won't go back to it; I have trouble re-beginning ... where to start, how to finish?
But, as long as I still have them, I might as well try to finish them: there's nothing to lose.

Beautiful! I'm glad you finished them - the top one is my favorite for the startburst composition you have with it :)
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem, Laura! These are beautiful, and I'm sure that you're glad that you went back to them.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. You are just a superb watercolourist. Magnifico!

Laura, they're exquisite. So delicate and such beautiful colors. I love your flower paintings.
ReplyDeleteWowzers, these are BEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely, but I particularly like the variation in the green leaves (top image.)
ReplyDeleteI really like the top one! And NOW I CAN SEE your other posts - love the fabric and look forward to seeing more!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the transparency.The burnt umber/brown(?)holds my attention and is a nice contrast. Very earthy.The brownish in the leaves on the top picture is also nice.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous, Laura! The rhodendron one is beautifully painted.
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous! You do "whites" so well.
ReplyDeleteI rarely go back to unfinished paintings, but I'm glad you did! These are wonderful, Laura. I love the top one especially, so fresh and a great composition.
