Quick Watercolor While Busy

Busy will be my buzz word for this coming week. I am babysitting my little mushy while Son#1 and Gorgeous are away on vacation. Yay for us, we get to see our grand baby morning, noon and night. I’m not sure if any painting will be happening while we entertain our charge.

I have plenty to do to prepare like fill the refrigerator with food and do laundry. I want to be as free as possible. Somehow in my busy frenzy yesterday afternoon I had the thought to do a quick watercolor painting of a piece of shell I threw in my bag from the beach last weekend. Twenty minutes and done.

You know how it is when you get an itch you just gotta scratch! If my paints were not readily available maybe this would not have worked out, but they were and I did it.  Lucky me!

  2. Dora- I’m glad you squeezed in a few minutes to paint this shell. It looks great and I especially like the darkness of the shadow! Enjoy your baby time and maybe even a little painting during naps!

  3. Thanks for dropping in Vicki! I just saw your comment today! I would like to take a walk on the beach right now, too. It’s nice out there in winter.
