Work In Progress

watercolor on paper 18 x 24

I hope everyone enjoyed my little game as much as I did.  I certainly enjoyed reading the guesses I got on my blog and facebook.  One person used the words venetian blinds, which was sort of close since the word venetian was in there:)  My work in progress this week is a scene from Venice during Carnivale.  With February rapidly approaching, I thought it wold be a fitting.

I'm also posting Steven's painting today.  He's been back in the swing of things this week.  He broke out his new set of paints he got for Christmas and created a beautiful piece.

Thanks everyone for participating:)

    Il est toujours intéressant de voir la progression d'une peinture et celle-ci ne manquera pas d'être remarquable.

    I never would have guessed this one, Carrie. It is coming out beautifully. I love Steven's painting. He is doing some really nice things. I do hope he keeps his interest in art as he grows up; there are so many ways he can express himself. :)

    Thanks everyone!!! I think I need to start selling Steven's paintings. I think are fantastic!! I too hope he stays interested in art. Wait till you guys see his painting for the next post, it has even more energy:)

    Thanks for all of your supportive comments. I'll be posting later this week, I'm not sure yet what to do with the sky. My photo ref is pretty much white, I think I'm going to ask for all of your help by taking a vote on what look I should go with, so stay tuned:)

    Steven's painting is awesome! I've seen lots of paintings by adults that are less sophisticated or beautiful.

    Those are ruffles! I thought they were flowers. You're on your way to another beautiful painting!
