Forgot Photo for Friday, Almost

This time I blew my week. There’s something in the air that is going around and people are catching it. Except me. I get to have the worst allergic sinus headache I ever had. So debilitating I thought it was a virus. No, my allergist said, it was an allergy reaction. Oh great. 
So, yeah. Blew painting, blew the class, blew it all. All because of allergies. Massive, nausea producing headache. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. 
Ok, can we move past it now? Please? Yes, let’s look at what I did Monday afternoon before my blowout.
I chose another photograph of the famous veggie haul days. This one had a sunflower poking in. I am so grateful to the Universe for telling me to take photos of the colorful produce. Great color and shapes. Still working in watercolor and using the large Canson paper I have, I sketched the subjects and put down color.

I had an idea while working on this, to sketch in paint. Similar to how I was painting smaller 20 minute works, more color on the brush than water. I don’t know how well this idea will pan out, but it’s an idea.

It’s annoying because I was on a roll up until the end of last week with the Daytona 500 thing. Monday I worked all afternoon and woke up Tuesday miserable. Hello! I’m on a schedule here! 100 paintings are not going to paint themselves!

Time to regroup. I’ve fallen behind in everything, but I’m getting up. You’ll see!

Fun Friday, or Not

Well, I bit the bullet and bought the iMac.  It’s a beautiful machine.  Have I got alot to learn?  You betcha.  But it’s real pretty.

I hope it gets to be fun, or I’ll be throwing my shoe at this computer too.  Hope I make it through the weekend with my head still attached to my neck.  I’ll let you know.   Wish me luck because I’m gonna need it.
