ZIPpo
This is for the Daily PaintWorks Challenge
It's metal, I couldn't resist.
Very limited palette - burnt sienna, ultramarine blue
and titanium white.
I don't use white with my watercolors so the paper did that job.
Had fun and Thanks to Theresa Bayer for bringing this Challenge to light!

Our Garden
8 x 11 inches, watercolor, 2010.
This month's WNW challenge was to paint "plein aire" - out in the open. I went and sat out in my garden, as it was a lovely warm spring morning. This really was a challenge for me, and really took me out of my comfort zone. It took me a while to get going and I ended up with a painting in a much looser style than I usually work in.

Cherries and Chocolate Cake
10 x 7 inches, watercolor, 2010.
This was painted for the Watercolour's Wet 'n' Wild February challenge. We were provided with several black and white photos of different objects (all with different light sources!) and were asked to choose 3 - 5 elements from the photos to make a composition. I decided on a cherry theme with red and green dominating the colour scheme.
