"Signs" 14" x 11" (watercolor on aquabord) |
I finished up "Signs" -- my fourth painting from my Amsterdam, The Netherlands series. I've also begun some new paintings. I was inspired by my beautiful baby lilacs this season and have messed around a bit with the color. So I have a couple paintings of this subject planned. I'm also toying with architectural structures as a theme, so I've been playing around with some images I captured while visiting Georgetown (Virginia) over the fall. (Don't worry, I haven't abandoned Amsterdam . . . I've got those paintings planned and ready to go.)

Finally, I am working on a commission for a friend. I will be very busy this week. I've been painting a lot and so my house and gardens are a mess . . . ha! Hopefully I can become a little more balanced in the upcoming weeks. But I figure if I can paint enough, maybe I can hire a housekeeper and gardner! Ha! (one can always dream, eh?)
Have a great start to your week!
I always admire how much painting you get done. Do you have a set schedule or are you just quick? I'm a really slow painter!
ReplyDeleteDear Kara - your painting turned out beautifully. Thanks too for sharing a peak at what you are doing now. I am with you about hiring a housekeeper and gardener...maybe someday we can hope :)!!
