more stargazers


(about 12x12)

I started this yesterday, when I painted the flower on the right; today I did the one one the left. What a difference a day makes--I wish I had painted both yesterday! I think I'll let it alone overnight then do a little lifting tomorrow to try to correct the most egregious mistake: the way those pistils are lined up so unnaturally. Maybe I can get back some white too.

It must be about 65 degrees here today, though gray and humid, and I used some of my painting time to sweep the deck and get my bike out of the shed ... so maybe my mind wasn't on painting!


Many thanks to Sandy, Ruth, and Deb for their suggestions in their comments on yesterday's post about how to cut pieces from an unwieldy and uncooperative roll of watercolor paper. (You can read their suggestions here.) I measured and cut a piece 36 inches wide today with much less frustration.
