In the Works - More Morning Glory Flowers!
I'm on a bit of a morning glory kick at the moment as my mini garden blooms this summer. Absolutely, I am loving the summer's gifts of fresh tomatoes and basil, but the daily changes in the whites, pinks, purples, blues, and lavenders in the morning glory flowers get my attention too.
"Oh, what a beautiful morning! Oh, what a beautiful day!*..." At least I don't come out of the house each morning singing at the top of my lungs, much to the appreciation of my neighbors. (Yes, guilty of watching so many musicals, growing up where everyone breaks out in a song.)
These morning glories love the sunrise! Then they get shy once the morning starts aging, falling in upon themselves. But wait, more will open tomorrow.
Here is what I have painted thus far this summer.
Painting Name: Garden Flower Glories
More practice in the use of the watercolor pencils than anything, I enjoy using these little watercolor treasures since using them in Valerie Larson's class. Basically its a "Draw it and drown it" style with watercolor pencils - I'm loving it.
Painting Name: The Morning Glory Climb
This one will have morning glories, they are coming. I promise. I planted the seeds! I played with watercolor markers to see what it would do...not a fan as yet. My yard is tiny living here in Woodbridge, VA. That's fine. Town houses often have tiny yards but I am determined to grow a few things other than weeds.
Even more practice with watercolor pencils and mixed media paper. This might be in preparation for the next one.

Acrylic paintings start off so sadly. Their beginnings are not much to celebrate. His destiny may be more morning glories. That's the plan.
