wow - it seems so long ago that I actually had my first love in paints - watercolors - out! Some of my blogland friends are participating in 10 paintings in 10 days...I would love too BUT know myself well enough to know better! I would just get frustrated and feel badly about not getting the task done. My schedule really doesn't work well for such a commitment. I decided to maybe try to dabble for 10 days - get some unfinished business taken care of! So first up, a journal page (
http://sinderella-studio.blogspot.com/2012/06/ss-and-dont-miss-moment.html ) I started while taking an e-course with
Lisa Wright! She posted a parrot named Rodney ( of course, I can't find the original photo she showed us) but I had started this painting in my moleskin journal without completing it so........................ today.................RODNEY!

I did the other page also as I was fasinated with the original picture focusing in on his beak! I am unable to download the pic for whatever reason. I have had to shut down my computer and spent 2 days trying to get Rodney's pic up. Missed Sunday Sketches altogether. FRUSTRATED!!!!
Hopefully will get figured out. I am some great stuff to share from artists' friends!!!!
cheers, dana

Oh I do love this painting of Rodney :) Never mind that you missed the deadline to submit this, we get to see it anyways.
This is a wonderful painting, He looks so real.
Isn't it funny how much we all loved Rodney!
I think it's good sometimes to step back and finish or rework a UFO (unfinished object we always said in quilting). Then we come back with a fresh eye.
So nice to catch up with you. Love Jez.
