Pain and paints

Sorry I have been kind of missing in action lately. I'm off from work with some wicked virus that leaves me out of breath from simple stuff like vacuuming... I am about to hit the wall :)

I dont have any new cottage photos, mainly because the cottage looks alittle like a war zone (anyone feel the same some times?!)....

I would like to brag some more though... ha ha.. .someone sweet has featured my mudroom :) 

Kelly from Eclectic Vintage has a Vinnord Feature, read it here: Exceptionally Eclectic #5

Thank you so much to all of you who decide to feature me for whatever reason... I love you all!!! 

So, seeing as I am pretty much stranded at the sofa I pulled out my old watercolors... it has been nerly 2 years since I did anything artsy except for decorating.... I wanted initially, to make a realistic watercolour of Pixie, my welsh... but I cant do realistic at all.. so my whimsical style brought out something else instead. You can still see Pixie there, and keep in mind I am so out of practice. I could tell you a million faults with this... but instead I am just gonna say... I LIKE IT!

I use mainly watercolours over a sketch, but also some coloured penicls and acrylic (for the whites)... 

It was so much fun, I decided to do anotherone today, and I did her sire, the welsh cob stallion Marcello

HE is much lighter in real life, but hey... maybe next time. I have also added a very dark blue-gray background to him... that I kind of regret now... but *sigh* no way back... He is all watercolour with just a tiiiny little acrylic for the absolute pure whites.... 

So much fun!!! I loose so many hours though. As soon as I start I cant stop and sit there painting and drawing for ages....  When I SHOULD be organizing stuff instead... oh well...
