I have these funny tubes of paint that I found for a ridiculously low price at the local job lot. They are named like sweaters in the J. Crew catalog.
Nevertheless, I am drawn to the colors and have done a series of work using Ocean, Mushroom, Birch and Twig.
For today's viewing pleasure, I bring you Ocean and Mushroom.
(all on 4"x6" watercolor paper)

| This is one of those pieces that went from bad to worse, to "I'm throwing this away", to "okay I can live with it but it's kind of a mess." |

| This was intended to be the start of a background, but the more I look at it, the more I like it just the way it is and the way it evokes the shore. Just don't call that a mushrooom cloud in the sky. |
| Tune in tomorrow for Ocean and Birch.... |
Lovely colors and great prints! Thanks for your postcard! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteNice, Karen, I like them in spite of the names...
ReplyDeleteLove the last one.
ReplyDeleteLovely colors, regardless of J Crew sweater names. I like them all but especially one and 4. And especially 4. Love the simplicity. Looks kinda like a gelli ghost print.
ReplyDeleteI like the last one, too. I don't see a mushroom cloud, just the way the fog can roll in during the afternoon in winter, taking you by surprise.
ReplyDeleteGreat colours, whatever they're called :)
ReplyDeleteFab cards - first and last are my favourites.
I love this.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love those colors together they are just dreamy.
ReplyDeleteThey seem pretty nice, now that I am working backwards. Guess you never know what might turn up in those stores. xox
ReplyDeleteCircles on the first one look so great! You achieved such great depth with your shading.
