Watercolor Day

I felt a little stale last week, I still liked what I was painting but I felt I needed an exercise to get out of my normal way of thinking.  Working in watercolor forces you to think about everything backwards, just what I needed to mix things up a little.

Sea life - aceo watercolors

Another little set of sea creatures, they make such interesting lines and shapes, it's impossible not have fun with them

The vegetables

I couldn't stop with just three kinds of veggies, the red onion is my favorite. I guess I'm in an illustrative mood.

More little watercolors

Here's another little set of aceo watercolors. They're just so much fun to work on, AND I can paint them on my lunch break which makes my desk job a little better :) I think they would be so cute to hang in a kitchen or a breakfast nook.

Best buddies - watercolor aceo

My husband loves fish, and I guess it was time to try my hand at some. These turned out just like I had pictured them in my head

Art Cards, Editions and Originals

This year Christmas meant that I got to spend a relaxing week in California, but it also meant that I'd be without my oils for a while. Which seemed like such a waste since I was going to have so much free time, and usually I'm fighting for a few hours a week set aside for painting. Luckily I have a travel watercolor set, which I purchased in Florence :), so I tried making a few of these little ACEO drawings. And even though watercolors aren't my favorite these were super fun to make.
