First Watercolor in the Series and some Inspiration



    I've been working on developing my concept further and choosing subjects this week.  I pull inspiration from the people around me, specifically ones I love. 
    I taught a beginners Acrylic class at the local gallery ("Essence of Georgia O'Keefe").  They brought in a picture of a favorite flower and they learned basic color mixing and brush strokes.  It was a great time and a good pick-me-up for me.  I love watching peoples' art process.
   
This is my mom. And this was her very first painting, and I got to teach her!  :) 
 My mom is definitely an inspiration and she continues to teach me. And, she is honest and patient with me.  lol, I need that most of the time!




We took our kids camping this weekend, and I picked wildflowers for my paintings and took pictures (because they will be gone before I get to paint them).


I finished a watercolor in my series this week.  "Teen Beauty"
The colors got a little muddier than I wanted, But, that kind of works with the series, so I didn't mind.
