Inspired by one of my favorite quotes "If you are not living on the Edge, you are taking up too much Space", and also the challenge of Larry Seiler, from whom I am following a teaching webcast on painting and stretching my boundarys, I am going to start a blog of 120 (or more) paintings, all postcard size, some from life, others from photos refs. they will be primarily watercolor, as I strive to become a better watercolorist, but I may also deviate into other areas as my fancy takes me.

STILE of life on the farm
another choice from the wetcanvas WDE, phot ref by Mo. I edited the reference to change the view through the stile, so the barn was framed . again using Creatacolor bloxx on a 8x8 WC pad, with a touch of pen on the stile itself. I turned the field of grass into a field of lavender
