A few more blocks for new grand baby Layla's garden quilt...they will have French knots for eyes. I have a few more to finish that will be facing right.
I am still trying to follow artist Jean Haines' advice and make three watercolor washes every morning using different colors. Then see if you can make a painting emerge from the luscious pigment that landed on the paper
I did quite a few using paper about 5.5" x 8.5". I think it is probably more fun for you to see the painting next to the original wash. I have also edited some of the finished ones down to 4" x 6" so I can use them for greeting cards.

Autumn Jewels, 5 x 8, by Jeanne T. McBrayer |
It is really fun to do this kind of painting, just playing with color and pigment and water flow and seeing what emerges. Thank you, Jean Haines!
