I've already removed the tiny brush, and added 4 more half pans from my old box... now this tiny box has 12 colors in it... I added Cerlean Blue, Sap Green, Burnt Umber, Hookers Green... I know 3 greens is too much, I think I'll add another yellow and/or some Raw Sienna, maybe drop the black and add a violet... it's so hard to decide LOL Time to go throw a little paint on some paper :-)

Thought I'd try the latest EDM challenge, a sea shell. The shell is actually on my bathroom vanity, not the beach... so a bit of artistic license here :-)

Using a mouse, and a pen is painful too today... I'm pretty bruised up... and not just my ego either... I hurt all over.

She was a good boat, I hope she serves her new Captain as well as she did us.

The landscapers at my office planted Pansies, grouped by color, yellow, white, and these incredible deep purple ones with yellow centers... I had to try to draw/paint one.

Ten days old, they look like little pot bellied pigs not puppies. Maybe I'm just used to how little JRT puppies look, these guys are growing DAILY!

This was my first flower painting. It was really fun to do. It's watercolor on a 9x12 Arches 140 lbs Block.

Got the rest of the leaves finished tonight. Now I just need to do the ribbons on the flower pot and I'm done.

Our warm weather may have confused my azaleas, even so it made me smile when I came home tonight and found them blooming.

Didn't have the recommended reds, so after testing my reds, I chose Quin. Red called Cherry Red by Holbein and Permanent Rose by Windsor Newton and used those two colors for the tulips.
