Clay Pots and Roses

This is the way I think watercolor is the most fun.
Fast, expressive brush strokes and colors mixing together
on the fly.  Has just enough expression of the subject
to make it recognizable but yet leave enough of the subject
understated so that the viewer can use there imagination
to fill in the blanks.

Doug,
The poem spinner doesn't need to use her imagination, I just use my eyes as the painting really speaks volumes, it's beautiful and the colours are delicate yet powerful...its wonderful :-D

Dear poet spinner, thank you for this wonderful comment, it's almost like one of your poems.
Again, thank you my friend.

Kelly thanks so much for visiting my blog, always nice to have someone new comment. Thank you as well for the lovely email message you left me regarding small towns and the future of everyone.

I tell you, this big "one" with Drew threw us all for a loop. Can only imagine (and really I can't) what that kiddo is thinking...

Wanting to show him all these comments and encouragements, but knowing they he won't be able to comprehend them right now...

In time...

Thanks for checking in and sending yours this way...

Nice, strong "California Roses". Great color! However, I like what you did with "Clay Pots and Roses"...fresh and spontaneous. I just refreshed my John Pike pallette and getting inspired by artists like you to get back TO IT! Thanks for the nudge. Gary

Gary, glad I could give you a nudge.
I just love to see other serious watercolorists
and the work they produce. They always

Keep those watercolors moist.
