Just feel like doodling

My poor, poor art desk.

It has gotten no love in so long.

I sunk into a depression hole,

and when I started climbing out of it,

my uncle passed away.

It has been a rough few months,

but I think and hope that I am out of the worst of it.

I still don't have much energy for sitting down

at my desk and really working on a painting.

But, I have been trying to play

with my watercolors

(I can lay on the living room floor with those!)

and just doodling.

I really really loved this one...until I marked in the black

rain/tear drops.

Oh well, I still like it...I like the colors

and drips.

Just trying to get a feel on how to use

my watercolors.

Such a different beast than acrylics!

Created tonight in honor of my Uncle

The colors are a little washed out in this photos.

All I did was put the paint down, let it dry

and found shapes for the drawing.

These were fun! I babysit for a family on Sundays,

and a few Sundays ago I brought in an art project for them to do.

You put down masking tape on a piece of paper

and color around it.

Simple and easy.

I can see how this could turn into fun exploration

of negative space.
