Don placed a bunch of tomatoes in this bowl while cleaning up the kitchen the other day. It caught my eye as I walked by a few hours later. Ah ha! My next still life prop. I love it when that happens! The bowl was made by my mom, who passed away in August. So it is a dear little bowl to me.

I've finished the 365 painting project and today is the last day of Leslie Saeta's 30 in 30 challenge. Phew! I am going to take the next few days off and enjoy my 20th wedding anniversary with Don.

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my blog. Have a great weekend!

Don and I were married on a Windjammer sailing ship in the British Virgin Islands. Can't believe it's been twenty years!

Day 63

A Whole Lotta Blue

Watercolor

5 x 7

It never ceases to amaze me how what appears to be a simple

composition can take me hours to paint. In some cases the 

less there is the more there is to see. Reflected light becomes very

noticable. I find reflected light much easier to paint in oils then

watercolor. So of course this took me hours to paint.
