Spring for Christmas & a Painting

   Good Evening,

    We have been windy and chilly like a lot of the country, but no snow-Am happy about that.

Next week including Christmas Day we will be in the 70's F-Wow was not expecting that. Will be nice for travelers though, and I like it too.

So I was thinking of what to paint today, and decided on flowers that led to Spring.

   I am enjoying these watercolor gouache paints the more I use them-they dry much faster than watercolor paints which I am liking.

 I thought I messed up this piece by adding in the blue sky afterwards but decided it was ok. I need to remember to paint the whole piece of paper first to get rid of the white paper background which I do not like showing

(photos will enlarge just click on them)  I like this one

   I am anxious for the beginner gouache book to arrive, along with a beginner watercolor book on flowers-this one looked more simple for a beginner. The mail has been so slow-as to be expected-for packages.  I did learn that one more person received their Christmas card.

  I am hoping to roll out Christmas cookies tomorrow.
