My less-than-triumphant return.

Strawberry and Lemon. Watercolor. 8 inches x 10 inches.

It has been years since I have done a still life in watercolor. I'd forgotten how persnickity strawberries could be. Ah, well. Better to try and fail than to never try at all.

on hiatus

in the midst of relocating.

will post again soon.

in the meantime, my dears, amuse yourselves with shadow puppets.

Mulberry

Mulberry. Mixed Media. 12"x12".

This is a work in progress. It started as the first of a series, and once I had finished the third painting I realized that I had to return to this one. If the lighting is good tomorrow, I'll be able to photograph the other two works in this series that I've finished.

I'm going to try to post at least once a week, but as we are preparing to move you'll have to bear with me if I fall short of this goal. I will have to put painting on hold in order to pack up my studio at some point. And just so you know, I hate packing. It creates a level of anxiety that should be reserved for really terrifying things, like jumping out of airplanes or sticking your head in the mouth of a lion.

Say "aaaah".
