This World Watercolor Month is going well, but maybe keeping me from doing things like, well, blogging. I looked back and it had already been a week since I had posted anything. The good news is that I am really enjoying my watercolor time. I have a pastel that I need to finish, though. I have lots of mugs ready for the kiln, so I can take a break from that. Besides, it is just too hot to be in the barn much, unless it is at the crack of dawn or late in the evening. The watercolor is a nice challenge making me have to think and plan and set down and paint. When my little art student came last Tuesday, she chose to do a watercolor too, although that is not her favorite. She is working on a hollyhock painting, and doing a great job. She is very slow and precise. She is good for me - makes me slow down and do a better job.  After the art battle last summer and fall, I became such a Speedy Gonzalez with my painting. I am enjoying my art student and watercolors.

Here are a few more of my daily watercolors: 

When I posted this little cowboy and horse painting on Facebook, my art student commented that the horse was missing a leg. I went back and looked at the photo. Sure enough, you could only see three legs and only a very little bit of the other back leg. So, I commented back to Alayna, "It only had 3 legs and probably walked with a limp." She said, "I bet!"
