| "Black Eyed Susan Duet" 4" x 5" Original Watercolor 2011© Gretchen Bjornson |
Today I chose to go simple with my painting. My oldest has a 4 day weekend so we're spending it in Cincinnati. I had packing to do today for myself, two boys, and a dog. I'm leaving the husband at home to spend time in his garage. I'm looking forward to a break from the routine.
Now don't worry, I've prepared for being gone this weekend. No excuses from me not to turn out paintings the next four days. I had taken this trip into account upon accepting the challenge and knew I had to do something different.
The next 4 flowers will be part of a series. I had to "cheat" a bit as I realized I wouldn't want to drag my painting supplies along, so I've been working on these four pieces daily for the last two weeks.
I will post one for each day and if all goes well (I'll be using my Mom's computer) I will post the series as a whole on Monday. You won't want to miss a day! I hope you all have a great weekend!
Can't wait to see them all, I especially love this one, I love Black Eyed Susans, so summery and happy
