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

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.

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.

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'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.
