THE BIG PUSH








   These are a few of the photos I have selected from my photo library. They all have some element of watercolor painting in which I want to improve. I have about 60 of them, so over the next several months, you will be seeing my efforts. The owl I would like to paint loosely [EEK!!] alla prima. How to interpret the frost on a fallen leaf. Grass in watercolor - I think there have been books written about that difficult watercolor subject. Of course, improving my techniques at interpreting animal hair and fur. And fire - I have never painted a flame before. So it goes ...
   My other push is getting my art seen and purchased. I have been consulting with a career counsellor for the past several months [dental hygiene opportunities in B.C. are non-existent] and we are working on a plan to get my art noticed. Like most artists, I would really rather paint than go out and drum up business, but that is what I must do to make my art viable.
   As always and ever, please leave your comments. They are much appreciated!!!
