1/4 sheet watercolor, number 19 in the 20 project. It's hard to paint a black cat. Gilbert was good not to move during the course of the painting.

60 Summer Farm
1/4 sheet watercolor, number 18 in the 20 project. I deliberately went looser here. Just painting. From a sketchcrawl sketch in Vermont.
59 Flowers
This is number 17 of the 20 in 20 project. I used opaque white (Dr. Ph Martins white) and filled in negative space and left colors for some floral shapes. Fun to play. 1/4 sheet.
58 White House
1/4 sheet watercolor. Number 16 in the 20 project.
One thing I discovered in doing this project is that it forced me to paint, regardless of whether I felt ready to paint a certain picture. I have been wanting to paint this house for years and just never did, til the 20 project. The colors don't look good in this photo, though. Not sure why.
57 Colors
Playing with brushes and color and counting it as number 15 in the 20 in 20 project. I am not proud...
56 Irises
1/4 sheet watercolor, number 14 in the 20 in 20 project. The one of the clouds was number 13.
54 Green light
1/4 sheet watercolor. Number 12 in 20 in 20 project, at which I fell very far behind and got desperate enough to take pictures on my phone to paint.
53 Blue Chair Trio
Do you know who these musicians are?? They are sitting thru the rest of the concert. 1/4 sheet watercolor
51 MO cabin
This is number 9 of my 20 in 20 project. It is a commissioned work of someone's cabin in the woods. 1/4 sheet watercolor

50 Young Monk
Number 7 of 20 in 20. I tried to use the ideas that I learned from the Charles Reid workshop last year.
47 Rooted
Still working on this. I am adopting a quote from Joseph Stoddard, who said, Never let reality get in the way of a good painting. So we shall see where this one goes.
I believe the 20 in 20 project needs a clarification: full sheet paintings will count for 2. I feel like Calvin and Hobbes, making up the rules as we go!
46 NIght Watch
Number 3 of the 20 in 20 project. I was trying to limit my washes and paint looser but I don't think it was successful. The learning curve continues.
44 Twilight Mood after Szabo
44 Twilight Mood after Szabo, a photo by luv2draw on Flickr.
This is the first painting in the 20 in 20 Project that Erik and I are doing--painting 20 pictures in 20 days. I followed an old article from a painting magazine by Zoltan Szabo and did this. Fun. Good jumpstart to the project too.
