Underlayment and pencil-up
Mostly painted
Since I couldn’t get to the watercolor board for my next piece (it was in my flat file cabinet and blocked by the panels of a dry sauna my husband bought but not yet assembled), I had to use what I already had out and available in the studio. Between the cold weather and unseasonable snows, I am tired of waiting for spring. I decided to make some of my own green with the acrylics. It’s only a little painting at 10×8, so it didn’t take long and I’m pretty happy with it.
And an April Fool’s Day joke from Mother Nature – 1-3 inches of snow predicted for this evening. Fortunately it has been warm enough that it will mostly stick on the grass and melt off of the roads. Next up on the table is a pen/watercolor of the Central Fire Station in Boise Idaho. (I did finally get into the flat files for the board. My husband will soon be in sauna heaven.)

Lovely bold green plant! And hooray for snow that does not stick to the roads. 🙂

Thanks, Cindy. I am seriously wanting spring now. It’s been too cold so far although it will keep the trees from budding out too early. And I agree totally on the snow. Grass, yes. Roads, no.

Love the green, Ruth. Spring is being slow here, too.

Thanks, Dix. At least my daffodils have started to bloom and I brought a few inside for my counter island.

Thanks, Jeff. I like to mix up the work to help stay fresh. I love green (and red), too.
