Okay, apparently it's the workman and not the tools. I bought some new watercolor brushes but nothing has improved in my painting. Even worse, my three year old grandson paints better than me!!

PREOCCUPIED
We are taking care of our grandson for a few days. Computer time will suffer but a good thing!

SCRATCHBOARD GIFT
Finished scratchboard drawing for a friend. I can't take credit for the composition. Saw a photograph on an internet site!

REALLY...WATERCOLOR AGAIN
Okay, I'm getting sucked in again. Watching a few Sterling Edwards DVDs has me wanting to give watercolors one more chance. He makes it look so easy. This time I'm starting with small technique studies instead of jumping in with both feet. Left is a tree study where the trunk worked well, but not the leaves.
Also started a scratchboard drawing from a picture I saw on the Internet that reminded me of a friend's dog. I'll give it to her as a gift when I finish.

MARGARET EVANS
I can't remember if I had posted anything before about this wonderful artist, but her pastels are fantastic. Her Youtube clips are where I first learned about the technique of applying paint (Gouache) to parts of the paper before using the pastels. Creates very different textures and patterns.
One of my attempts below.

IN THE PARK
My print 'In The Park' placed third in one of Fine Art America's art contests. This is a multi-wood block print I did a few years ago.

TWO FAVORITES
Not being very good in the watercolor department has not lessened my love of the art. My time is always well spent visiting websites of great watercolor artists. Belinda Del Pesco always has wonderful paintings to share like the this one of her cat.
