Color Project | Blue No. 1 and 2

Here are my first two paintings for The Color Project. I thought I'd do a few and choose my favorite as the entry. So far I'm leaning towards No. 2. I have lots of time...the deadline isn't until 4/14.

Coup de Coeur

Ok, maybe it's not the traditional Valentine...out-of-the-ordinary is good sometimes.

This is my latest painting, Coup de Couer, 4x6 inches.

Next I should have something to show you from The Color Project Blue.

(p.s. I'm only one Etsy sale away from 600!)

Lemon

Thank you to LilithEvy for featuring my "Little Miss Sunshine" original watercolor in her lovely lemon montage :-)

A Break in the Action

Taking a short break from the holiday preparations to do a quick blog update. Hmm, my two most recent paintings are looking more like an Easter color palette. You were probably getting tired of all the red and green anyway.

We put up the Christmas tree today. I'll try to get a picture posted before the weekend is over.

From an exchange with an old friend yesterday, I realized something about myself. I see life in terms of colors and moments. Do any of you know what I mean or do that too?

My Latest Project

I completed the Art House Coop's Sketchbook Project last month and am now moving on to the Color Project. I chose blue! I'm more excited about this one because I can focus on painting one complete piece (plus I don't have that pesky End of the World theme to deal with).

Her Secret is Patience

Between the shopping and wrapping, I somehow managed to squeeze in time to do three paintings today (not how I like to work it, squeezing it in, but sometimes that's how it goes).

Her Secret is Patience original watercolor painting, 5x7 inches

Splendiferous

An Etsy favorite Splendor is now available as a print, only $12 (including a mat and free shipping).

Working on 2010 plans for my shop and my art now; ideas and requests welcomed!

A Goodbye to November

I haven't had a chance to list this for sale on Etsy yet, but here's a sneak peek at one of my November poppies.

Update: now it's listed.
