Getting There?

The journey is half the fun of getting to the destination. And that's what I'm doing.!





I have a collection of white ironstone pitchers. Perfect for flowers.
I drew this in ink first, then watercolor.. .

I don't mess around with 'photo  fixing'. At the most I crop, 
or adjust  light. 
I'll do some more of these, as I was pretty happy with it .. It's me!
Not realistic and not too sloshy. Now there's a technical word! 
I know in my heart I'm a painter of flowers first, then comes all the other subjects. I do like to try portraits, landscapes (my downfall ) and still life , which I'm a disaster at. 
Finish today with a drawing done a couple years ago.
