California Poppy Field

"CALIFORNIA POPPY FIELD"
Original Watercolor Painting
15" x 11"

This was such a fun painting to create. I worked from a photograph, and while I often work in layers with watercolor, I did this one alla prima (all at once).

I am beginning to feel more at ease painting this way, with myself, and with the surprises watercolor brings. Actually finding myself painting more as a result. Letting Go is good!!!!!!!!!

"Listen, ooo wa ooo....do you wanna know a secret..."

This was painted alla prima! All at once, no layers, no drying time in between!!!!
I have always wanted to reach a place in the craft of painting watercolor where I might
be able to do this successfully. Lots more practice, but this was fun!

One of my gerber daisy pots I brought indoors to paint...
it's still cold and rainy outside here in the Pacific Northwest.

I see one of the daisies about to open is pressed against
another daisy (see closeup photos above)... and I am
pretty sure he's whispering in her ear...

"Listen, ooo wa ooo,
Do you want to know a secret, ooo wa ooo,
Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh....

Closer, ooo wa ooo
Let me whisper in your ear, ooo wa ooo,
Say the words you long to hear,
I'm in love with you......"

just a quick update!

My Shuga Shack!

I had SO MUCH FUN TODAY! Last Fall I cleaned and painted this little out building to use as a studio when weather permitted,and today it permitted. I was in heaven, birds flew in and out, I sang very badly and loudly, and there were no distractions. I am a happy girl.

btw, the pastel painting is just started, I am only keying in the colors so far.
