For some reason, I always feel like I should paint something on my birthday. I often paint it on the day - but not always.
Anyway, just playing with paint and paper with no planning - just picking up a color I want to try and using another color with it and keeping it wet-in-wet with the paper almost pooling with water. These don't look much like finished pieces - just paper on which I've moved some paint around.
This one looks a bit like winter trees in the wind. Using Permanent Brown and Cobalt Teal Blue with a little Shadow Violet mixed in.
This one looks a bit like blue thistles. Mainly using the same three colors.
Nothing to write home about!
I'm reading the Georgia O'Keeffe book now, enjoying the visit to New Mexico via her paintings and the photographs in the book.

Happy birthday, Rhonda!
Well, I like your visions! Love the blue thistles for some reason. Colors are exquisite!
Thanks much, Vicki, Diana, Christiane and Sherry :) For some reason, they just don't look finished to me - but when I see work of other artists and they've done just really wet-in-wet and let it dry, I like it. Must be a prejudice towards my own work!! ha ha
Hi Rhonda:) You can see the spontaneity! Delicious! Thanks for sharing:)
