A cloud study, light from the right. This makes me think of a sunset more than a sunrise . . . It was really a challenge to get them to look balanced in color and shape. Unless you paint, it’s not easy to explain. The nice thing about gouache is that you can paint over what you don’t like.
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!
