Weekend Walkabout: Painting What You See, and What You Don't See

So I've been putting in a little more time in the mini-studio, working on watercolors! They are wonderful challenges because you get one shot, that's it. No erasing, no painting over. One shot.
Frustration or fun, you never know which, when you're a newbie like me:

A beach scene in progress. Frustration or fun?

Here is a hot-press, controlled painting based on the wonderful artistry of Mithila/Madhubani artwork from India:

And of course, there's photography based on my weekend walkabouts, both indoors and out:

Our Fish Crows in Residence, Hugin and Munin, have returned, so I promise a post soon...have a wonderful Weekend Walkabout!

Weekend Walkabout: Who Put That Flower There??

I have no idea how sunflowers got into my garden, but I'm glad to see them!

I suppose it could have been birds who dropped a few seeds a month or so back, maybe? And the Spanish Moss, one of my all time favorite Tillies, is doing fine now....

A little painting in the studio makes for great weekend. Happy Weekend Walkabouts, fellow gardeners and painters!
