Saturday-Thursday

Hardwood was supposed to be on the truck this morning.  NOT.  No worries.  Fans still going.  I'm slightly displaced, but, my friends have been feeding me, and I have the perfect excuse to just stay in the art room and mess around.  This is Bad?    Many more, just liked these for the moment, the best.

Just some more dripping paint.

The Almost Dead Carnations

Dripping and dropping, just playing

More Daisies

My contractor was here this morning.  Seems my disaster is not going to be all that difficult.  Oh yes, ripping up the whole kitchen, but new cabinets and hardwood floors all over my downstairs, per my insurance, isn't exactly a tearful solution.
Good news.  The downstairs is going to me a holy mess.  Better news:  I have to stay home to supervise the project, upstairs, where my art room is.
Best news:  More daisies.  LOL

Drew these first.  Can see the pencil lines which I hate.  Going to mess with it, but that's usually when they end up in The Box Under The Desk.  So, just in case, here's #7 before I go at it again.  Colors on this scan are not exactly right.  A little messy.  Tried to do some wet on wet here as well.  

Daisies

Daisies 2

They start the demo of the kitchen on Monday.  Oh my.  Trying to prepare myself for the mess, noise, and invasion of my space.  Decided a project would be good.  My flowers are gone, so went to Kroger and bought the $5 bunch.  The deal is:  I listen to music, paint, daisies, and probably at some time drink some wine.  Want to just play with shades of white and gray.

Anyone interested in giving me feedback on what they see or how to improve?  It would be greatly appreciated.  My natural ability is still undiscovered so any help in finding the path to success would be greatly appreciated.  :)

 Things have been in a bit of a mess and I am trying not to freak about all of it.    I am  using  some of this  time tor reflect and  focus on my watercolors, thinking about what, how, colors, etc.  Below are some of the things I am working on.  

very fast and wet on wet

Was working on drawing this and trying to be precise

One of the first attempts with the last summer flowers  Used an oval frame
