I'm still feeling drained so today's #watercolor subject matter is what I see looking at the blank page.

I'm still not feeling very creative so I made a swatch of the new colors I've added to the palette recently.

Yesterday was an unplanned rest day, so today I challenged myself with subject matter I find intimidating: people. The #watercolor turned out much better than I expected it to.

Today was rough. I almost didn't paint anything at all. This is based loosely on the work of Mark Rothko and Phi. It's mid and I'm okay with that because I got it done even when I wanted to bail.

Not bad for a first attempt at a #watercolor of space.

Today I raided the box o' ye olde art to steal ideas for future paintings from previous me. It was fun finding stuff I'd forgotten about or thinking about the version of me that made the piece. Plus I found some stuff to steal. Bitch had some fun ideas before life got all end-of-the-worldy.

Today's #watercolor is of #traintracks. I had a busy day so this one was done much quicker than I usually work.

My eldest cat (11m), William "Billy" Pilgrim, or Bilbo Baggycats to his friends, turned out to be deceptively difficult to capture in #watercolor; so much so that I abandoned the piece before finishing it. Fur (and hair) have always been a weakness, regardless of the medium.

Today's #watercolor is another frequent image floating around in my head.

An #inkandwash #watercolor sketch of a stave church.

I was going to do this at day 30, but life had other ideas so instead a day 40 review of my art progress.

In 40 days I have done 87 total paintings. 62 on cellulose paper, 25 on a mix of 140lb and 300lb cotton paper.

Another attempt at a hopeful doorway? I'm not sure I just did the #watercolor, otherwise it's a recurring image in my head.

It's not an original idea but this #watercolor depicts slipping into #depression. The painting turned out surprisingly well, if the imagery is a bit derivative.

Today's #watercolor is another mess. Failing to achieve what I set out to is a bummer, but I learned a lot. The planning #ballpoint and #sharpie is much better though.

Today has been rough, but I still managed to get a #watercolor #portrait done.

Day 33 of #dailyart

Today's #watercolor: a person. One thing I still struggle with is making enough of the color I need to cover the area I'm working on.

Today's #watercolor: a #moose.

Day 31 of posting #dailyart. Today is even more #trees! These turned out much better than yesterday's.
