Magazine Stuff

I finished my recent copy of Watercolor magazine, reading it cover to cover as I always do. I love that magazine! Here are just a few of the artists who were featured.

I would like to take a workshop from Pat Weaver someday - love her strong colors and values in all her paintings.

This man captures the feeling of fading species and the fragility of certain species with a humorous touch (if that is possible, he does it).

Love her portraits...

And this man's art blows me away! Such detail, such intricacy, such beauty, so many glazes!!! I could never have the patience for this but I love the look.

We have a busy weekend planned out with lots of socializing (with which I am not always that comfortable). I may have something to share by Monday...or not. I've decided to stop putting pressure on myself to put something on here every day or so. No one but the devoted Daily Painters seem to be this regular with their posts, so why should I? More time painting and/or drawing and less time on the computer should be a good thing.

Another thing, I may stop showing everything. If it doesn't work, why show it? I've found that most artists show their good stuff, their gallery stuff, their archived stuff that shines, not their bad paintings, their failures, their attempts that didn't quite hit the mark. So if I don't like it, I may not show it - that way you'll begin to think I am much better than I am! ha ha

Seriously, I just need a small break - consider it a spring break! I know all your bloggers out there understand :)
