A question and a picture. An island in Maine - from memory


Thank you all for your wonderful comments. You are all so generous! You'll know soon enough that my computer skills could be better. I don't know how to get the comments to post onto yahoo. Is that important?

I haven't started the everyday challenges yet. Gosh - I haven't even started my Sketchbook Project yet! The theme is: things you might find in a napkin. Anyone care to offer some ideas?

Also, this is a little island in Maine that dot the coastline. I didn't get up there this year, but hopefully next year. I miss the wonderful salt marshes, the salty sea air and the amazing fragrance of the fir trees that waft around you as you sit or walk. I've never painted in watercolors before but love the medium. I'm probably going about it all wrong but I am having a good time! :)

  2. This is your first watercolor, you say? Well, you already possess that gift of splashing and schmoozing the color, which is something I've been trying to achieve for over a year now. So, WELL DONE!

  3. You are having fun! What you might find in a napkin is easy. People are always drawing and making notes in napkins. Of course, lipstick is a good choice.
