Christmas Presents


I decided to try out some of the Christmas presents my husband gave me -- Some water brushes and a Blue Bean portable watercolor case. Took a brain-break from the computer and sketched one of the bottles siting around my desk and painted the washes with the waterbrushes. I'm pretty impressed. The pans in the Blue Bean rewet pretty well. Can't wait to take it on the road when the weather warms up.

Can I request a painting? You know, like you're the DJ and I call your request line and then I tell you what I want to see and you play--I mean, paint it... ?

No. No requests. That's too much like my day job. As you well know.

But Moooom, that's not fair and stuff. I want you to paint a picture of Erich as a Viking.

Wow - very cool - I love the subtlety of the colors and the varying contrast and shades... you can actually see the difference between the colors as the pressure of the brush is applied - wow, who knew?!

I think you have missed your true calling - I'm just gushing over a paintbottle - I love it! Can't wait to see more!

When I win powerball I will have to commission a work!

I love how you did this blue bottle! You thought far ahead enough to leave it light in the center, keeping it clear and glasslike, which I always forget to do! :-)
