So I hope to go out and paint with friends today, plus have a lovely drive in the country to get there!!
Here's something I began that has taken an odd route...
Banyan Buddha
21" x 35" watercolor and ink on Arches 140# cold press
The colors are too pretty and need to be toned down and the shapes of the banyan tree enclosing the buddha statue need to be more rounded so they look like roots...(the black ink may have been a mistake so I may have to do this one over).

Rhonda,
I like the black ink in this painting. If you really want to modify the colors, I would simply deepen those at the bottom. It will make a great abstract!
Take good care of yourself.
i am fascinated by your piece! i kept looking to see what it was, and found my imagination taking off with all sorts of ideas! keep up the great art!
Thanks, Christiane. I think you're right about the colors - it is very abstracted and I might do this one again without the ink, though, to get more depth (the ink is pretty flat).
Rocky, thanks for stopping by and commenting! I'm glad this one gave you lots of places to take off to in your imagination :) Hope you stop by again sometime.
Very cool piece! And I like the name, too!!!
Rhonda, I see no "mistakes" here. Just finish the painting according to your gut. Nice piece!
Thanks, Deb, and thanks for the fun day painting in the country - next time I'm bringing my camera to take photos of the cows!
Thanks, Kathy. I'll have to come by and see what you're doing lately.
