Inspiration




HI, I tried a very loose watercolor today. Have you checked out Jean Haines watercolor blog? It's over in my blog list. Her work is amazing and so very loose. I don't know how she does it but I thought I'd give it a try with the beautiful colors of the Devil's Walking Stick.(These are from my backyard.) That is the smaller photo. I wet my paper completely. This is 140lb. hot press arches block and then splashed on my colors with a large juicy brush allowing the colors to drip and dry a little. I enjoyed the freedom and then I drew some leaves of the Devil's Walking Stick onto the corner. I'm pleased with it and am thankful for the inspiration..from Jean and the beautiful fall leaves- read her book too. It's amazing. talk to you soon,Diana

  4. You have inspired me with your beautiful fall paintings. I am going outside right now and pick up some fall leaves to arrange with my squash and get my paintbrush moving!

  5. I love this time of year to watch the leaves change colour. Never enough time to draw all I would like to. That might be a nice project for next year,
    Gorgeous pumpkins , such rich colour in your paintings.
    Have fun. And thank you for your lovely comments. Milly
