Back at it after a break for the holidays and being sick.
Mutt Run morning #5, 11x15 watercolor, Baohong 300gsm rough paper. Five days a week I pass by this spot, usually closer to sunrise. This was a rare mid-morning encounter.

Gran Caribe Belize, 11x15 watercolor, Magnani 1404 300gsm cold pressed paper. It's cold so I was having warm thoughts. We stayed here part of our trip in August. It was very hot and the resort workers were desperately trying to shovel tons of sargassum that had washed in.

Valley, 7.5x11in watercolor on Kilimanjaro 300gsm cold-pressed paper. 2nd of 8 in my 'dark palette' series. I was still getting used to this palette and at the end I felt this was the weakest of the eight.

Pleased to tell you about the re-launch of my art website! I'll be posting work there for sale, plus new blog posts every Thursday or as close to that as I can manage. I'll still be posting sketches, paintings, and stuff here too, until the Careless People arrive at least.

Sometimes when I don't have enough time to dive into a painting I will do these small studies and just see what happens when colors mix on the paper.
