I poured all of my cobalts blue , as well as phthalo turquoise, the only two-pigment mix in my pallet. There was a starters wash underneath. It’s a half sheet watercolor, with a few crayons, high flow acrylics and tears thrown in. This is dedicated to my late husband, James Michael Pensinger.

The shells are just weights.

Here are the dead paint tubes.

Wet, then dry

Then done. Flying fish. Watercolor on Legion paper. 10 x 7

Here are a start and what I did to or with it.

I’d love some feedback. Watercolor, gouache, Inktense pencils on Fabriano cold press. Thanks for looking.

Today is gray, but color fell out of my brush yesterday. Here’s pour one:

Which way’s up? Jumbo Shrimp. About 14″ by 10″ mixed watermedia on Fabriano cold press paper.

Comments?

On my easel a mixed watermedia piece. On Yupo,

One hundred smackers. Write me. Message.

About 12″ x 9″, watercolor and Inktense sticks on paper

With me. But I’m going to stick around.

On my easel: watercolor and inktense pencils on Arches block. (9×7)

I’m grateful for paint that runs Happy turkey day. Also that I have a place to live, a car and a great dog.

Work in progress. India ink marker (!) on damp watercolor block. Any thoughts on adding color?

Today we scattered ashes.

Oy

Recently I posted a painting and asked for advice. This is how it is now. Half sheet watercolor on paper. A fall wedding popped up to me. Love comments, criticism and more. I think it needs sharper images in the center.

And this is how it began

A few weeks and one spell of exhaustion ago I took a color clinic workshop with Nita Leland. Boy did I need the reminders. So here's the first watercolor start since then. All comments, ideas and critiques welcome.

And thanks.
Martha who still wants to be a painter if she grows up.

When I paint near Nita, I let loose. Selfie with cookie. SOLD woohoo!

I missed a a couple days of painting this week. Heat, doctor appointments, life…. So here are a couple older paintings for your enjoyment, I hope. Watercolor is great fun.

Todays prompt was summer music. “Summertime” is my all-time favorite song.

It was 97 degrees in my studio today. So I’m posting an older watercolor. Cooling off is the prompt for the day. #worldwatercolormonth. #worldwatercolorgroup.

Rising, QoR watercolor, Golden high flow acrylic on raw canvas.

Quartersheet watercolor. Comments, suggestions?

I tried this over a gessoed-over disaster. I wanted a butterfly.

Then I got at it with Inktense pastel-like blocks and aimed for a swallowtail with an endless tail. Oh boy.

All help and advice. Welcome. Hoooooo

Thanks, as always. Madness.

Pinks, purples, aquamarines and sun collude and collide everywhere in this Florida city. We came up here airplane shopping, had dinner in a dog-friendly joint on the beach. Now it’s time to sleep, but I have these colors swirling around my brain. Here’s a sunset. Paint flinging tomorrow.

Sun sand water

I like this one. Sun, sand water. 

Still recovering from the bug but painting almost every day. Work is changing, not necessarily better. Lemme know what you think. And thank you for your words to me.

We had our first–soon-to-be-annual–event today. Watched Groundhog Day streaming. Ate salad from close by. Held hands.
