Last week I asked for suggestions for watercolor painting ideas and friend Julie came up with several, one of which was to paint from photographs that I’ve taken. Challenge accepted!
The Watercolor Travel to Italy workbook helped me in my approach to these two projects – I tried to paint with a looser interpretation of what I was seeing. I like how the blackbird turned out better than the reflection. Couldn’t resist working in a haiku for the RW blackbird.
Thanks for the inspiration, Julie!
And here’s what happened last weekend:
This is my much-abused craft table, the top of which hasn’t been seen since we moved here in 2005. It would have been helpful to show you a “before” picture so you could appreciate the difference, but I didn’t think of that. Have you ever cleaned an area and made a promise to yourself that you were going to keep it cleaned? I am Very Determined to keep clutter off this table, so I can use it for something besides painting. I’m getting excited about sewing some more felt animals for Grandma’s Toy Box. ❤️
I’ll probably delete this in the morning, but will admit that I’m not Very Determined about it.

Perhaps there is just a little competition between Grandma’s Toy Box and Grandpa’s Rocking Horse Barn? 🙂
