Day #31-A familiar flower


I am wanting to enter a show that entries are due in March.  This shows requirements are that the painting be 6" x 6" a common size for daily painters.  I would like to enter a piece in "my style" but the show is for paintings, therefore, not accepting of marker drawings.  This is an image I have done before with markers, but wanted to try out in watercolor to see how it looked.  I think it's okay.  The photograph isn't as brilliant as the painting itself.  I am going to work on another image in watercolor to see how it goes in a landscape.  I might try some acrylic too.

The boy was sick yesterday, so I didn't get posted.  I'm going to try to be more diligent on posting everyday, but sometimes the best thing I can do is get the art made!

  1. Erika, good to see another of 'us' trying to do things everyday. It isn't always easy, you are not going to make a masterpiece everyday, and if you miss one here and there due to what life throws your way, don't sweat it too much. I have had a rough week, and missed about 4 days, and the odd thing was that I began missing doing a piece every day very deeply. Glad to be 'back on the trail' again.. Keep it up, your stuff looks great!
