playing with food

 
(5x6)
A little (as-much-as-I-can-manage) unself-conscious playing with paint: shapes, colors ... not overthinking.

  2. Love the blue towel (napkin?m cloth?) with the oranges and yellows. And the schmear of shadow color in top picture.

    And the pineapple has just the right amount of detail and beautiful color.

  7. All three of these are examples of the pure beauty of watercolor! Love them all and so glad you stopped and didn't think they needed more work :) I admire that because it's something I've rarely been able to do - stop and say it's done.
