The first prompt was something like "Play Date." I got out my Tom Lynch book of 150 Charts: Watercolor Workshop Lessons, and did this one on making juicy, loose color combinations. I used my new Holbein watercolor paints, which Tom recommends. They definitely have rich, bright color!
Today's prompt had something to do with Time. I already had the background, chair, and lamp on this journal page. I used a watercolor background, then sprayed with diluted watercolor paint in a spray bottle through a stencil. A quick look through a catalog in today's mail produced a clock to match the patchwork decor. A little lettering with a Sharpie completed the page.
Today was the first day of preschool for my little two-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter, Charlie. I have kept her two days a week since she was three months old. What a joy she has been to teach, play with, and love.
My husband is phasing out of his work as a financial advisor, and we hope to spend much more time in the mountains. Now if we are up there on a weekend and don't feel like coming home on Sunday, we'll just stay!
But I sure will miss my little girl.
