I have a couple of new watercolors to share. These were both painted last week. I have some new paintings from last night's class I want to post too but I'm having problems with my camera's focus and want to try to fix it before I take any more photos. We'll see how successful I am. :)
This was painted from a photo I took a few years ago. I like that I was able to capture the strong light and shadows and the reflections that appealed to me in the photo.
This is the second in a series of daisy "portraits" I'm doing (I forgot to photograph the first one and it's hanging in a show right now so I can't take a photo until I get it back). I'm experimenting with a few new techniques and trying for very loose, almost abstract images. I think I got closer to the effect I want with this one. Now to try even more experiments!
In more painting related news, I entered 3 watercolors in a juried show at the local gallery here in town. It's the first time anything I've painted has been hung in a gallery so it was a step forward for me in that regard. I got honorable mentions for two out of the three paintings so that made me happy too. :) The show goes through the end of October so if any of you are in the mood, head down to the Sidney Art Gallery and check out all the paintings the South Kitsap Artists have done.

You know I love your daisy paintings!!! :) The blues and greens in the background of this one are fantastic.
Good job. Keep 'em coming.
so glad to see you posting your paintings again. I was so happy to see your paintings at the gallery and that you got the 2 Honorable Mention ribbons.
Maybe you won't get them back--maybe someone will buy them! Your work is just beautiful, Melis!
