Ta-da! Finished product! The latest watercolor painting is done. I am shocked at how quickly I was able to finish this large work. It has to be a record for me. Maybe I’ve figured out how to make the process work for me.

The trick is to start the next one right away. If I could get away from all the other things that need my attention I could sketch out the next work and get to it at a free moment. When will that happen?
Fortunately, I am prepared. If I hadn’t taken these photos I’d be looking for something to paint. Really, I never thought I’d paint from these photos at the time. I just liked how the colors and shapes looked, enough to take pictures of everything.
Too bad I’m not doing the CSA share this year. It was pricey, I didn’t always like the produce I received, and it was too out of my way to pick up my share. The sunflowers I got were the spark, though. Amazing sunflowers! And now, the produce. Who knew produce could look so beautiful?
So, I have a plan! Farmer’s Market photos! Buy sunflowers! Arrange and photograph, or paint live. Keeping the momentum high will keep Mr. Resistance at bay.
At least that’s the plan.
this is just beautiful a vibrancy not alwys present with watercolor , I really like this. I think its agreat idea to use the farmers market produce as your subject, it will be colorful!
Gorgeous work, Dora xx
