San Pellegrino WIP and Winner Announced

San Pellegrino WIP full sheet, watercolor

Shows the scale of the painting.  And that is a large bottle of Perrier, not the small guy:)

Hi Everyone,

Here is my progress so far.  This painting is a beast so I included a picture with a bottle to show you the scale.  And, yes I realize that it is a Perrier bottle that snuck into the picture but the size is comparable.   I will post my progress on Wednesday, lets hope it's finished by then:) 

The winner of my 2nd Blogiversary give away is--drum roll please--Sarah from Monaco Interiors:)  Congratulations Sarah! (I used random.org to generate a winner)

See you Wednesday!

San Pellegrino WIP and my 2nd Blogiversary GIVEAWAY!!

Hi Everyone,

S. Pellegrino WIP watercolor on paper it's a big one--full sheet

I'm hoping that 2012 is treating you well!!!  I'm posting my WIP.  I'll share my progress again on Wednesday.  It's a big guy.  I'm working on a full sheet.  It's been a slow start because I've not used a mostly green palette before and I had to work out the colors, but now I'm on a roll.

I have let the New Year start without acknowledging my 2nd Blogiversary.  In some ways I can not believe it has been 2 years and in others I feel like this is such a part of my life and I've made such wonderful friends that I've been at this forever.  As I roll into my 3rd year I am proud of what I have accomplished.  I feel renewed and even more motivated.  I was worried that at the end of year 1 I would be burned out by my commitment to paint everyday, but it has become a wonderful habit.  This blog has held me accountable and you wonderful people have pushed me along and been there every step of the way!  I can not Thank You enough!!!!

To celebrate I'm going to be giving away a pack of my mini-prints.  To enter just leave a comment and an e-mail address so that I can contact you.  I'll announce my winner next Monday!

Let's make 2012 the best year yet:)))

Friday Feature-- Liu Yi

Have you checked out the new magazine The Art of Watercolour?  It is fabulous!  It can be hard to find, it's a French magazine that is translated into English, I found my copy at Books-A-Million in Baton Rouge, LA.

The painting on the cover was so mesmerizing and breathtaking I wanted to feature Liu Yi's paintings.  His paintings are breathtaking!

Have a great weekend!!!  I'll announce the winner of my contest Monday, so stay tuned!  And if you want to enter check out my Monday blog post.
