World Watercolor Month 2019 – Days 7-12

World Watercolor Month 2019 continues, and amazingly, I have been able to keep up with the daily prompts, even with plumbers tearing out and fixing a leak, and just other life things that conspire to keep me from painting! Some paintings are quick and easy to do, but others may involve several hours, especially the ones in gouache.  Some are easy to do in that ideas come to mind rather quickly, others more challenging.  For instance, the 13th one is “Glassy” – glass?  mirrors?  reflections on glassy water?  Those are the challenges – how to interpret the prompt.  The interpretation can be literal or figurative.

Here are my interpretations for prompts 7 through 12.

WWM #7: Shiny Things – Reflections on the Ocean

WWM #8: Flying High – Migrating Monarchs
WWM #9: Shadow Play
WWM #10: Ocean Creatures
WWM #11: Simple Pleasure – The Natural World
WWM #12: Blossoming – Vine and Flower-Covered Buildings of Yore – All in Bloom!

Right now, most of my art supplies are hidden in shelves inside boxes!  Funny how things just vanish.  I am really frustrated in some ways, and rather amused in others.  I still have to make a final choice in paint for the damaged wall, but that is easy enough.  The real work is repairing the wall, putting in the drywall, mud, tape, sanding, taping, painting, painting, painting, moving back in . . . leaks are expensive, not just in money, but in time.  Oh well!
