Miss.P a New Watercolor

Welcome Miss.P, a new watercolor. I'm sure, kind Reader, you know the artist I borrowed from?

Starting Smoking and Sofonisba

.

Sofonisba
um...7" square
I can never remember her last name. I think it's amazing I can remember her first name. Anguisola or some such. Anyway- a very neat lady artist, who lived an interesting and all encompassing life as artist, court painter, wife and mother. A good roll model for me. Someone I'd really really like to sit down to a cup of tea with. After I learn Italian. And she really did look like a lemur. It wasn't exactly a stretch of the imagination.

I thought I'd lost three of my watercolors today. It took me an hour to find them. I felt so ill. Afterward I started smoking again...but not really. I did consume a cup of coffee late in the day as well as a large hunk of frozen cookie dough. Now everything is, suffice to say, VERY orderly and organized.

Two New Watercolors

Sorry, Kind reader, I am working quite a bit, I just seem to be falling behind at photographing and blogging the work...So, to get started catching up, here are two new watercolors.

Pets
6.25"X6.25"

The Queens Tea
6.25"X6.25"

I think I may have mentioned I paint at a cafe' near Phineas's preschool. Going all the way to my studio would loose me a precious half hour of painting time. But painting at a coffee house is a challenge. I have learned to choose well lit corners where I surreptitiously spread out my painting paraphernalia so that no one can sit too close. I realize it is probably better business to let people see me work but I'd rather glare at people in general than socially chat about the painting. So I tip up the paper block with my purse and try not to smile to invitingly. You can join me anytime, of course, for a cup of tea.
