A different view of The Slough, gouache, and some perspective problems, both atmospheric and size. Sigh.
Still, I will say parts of it I really like. One thing I enjoy about gouache is the colors are so cheery if you don’t turn them into mud. Mixing is such a challenge with this medium – you need a lot of white to make light colors unless they come like that out of the tube.
Take some time, kick back, relax – a beautiful video with music to soothe in troubled times.

As a ground cover, Vinca Major is wonderful for shady areas. Soft, long vines with brilliant leaves and purple flowers make for a lovely display. It’s always been a favorite of mine.
Happy Easter!
Practicing watercolor, and here we are – once more addicted! My new routine is artwork in any form, and then some sewing or other fiber arts. Gardening soon now that it isn’t raining. Life in quarantine hasn’t changed our lives much here – no kids to home school – but it has helped to focus on what is important in our lives besides food!

Banana bread anyone?!
Being relatively housebound these days, you have to get creative. Some people create amazing scenes with toys, like Frego (hint!) and her adventures. We had some bananas given to us, but they were way too many to eat, but good for mushing up and freezing for future baking endeavors like bread, or even better, pancakes.
