This is the same subject as yesterday's oil painting, but done in watercolor.

If you do forget, you will end up with a tiny sprig of a fern like this, instead of the nice full plant I brought inside last fall.

I'm taking an oilpainting class with Penny Dillon and these are some thumbnails for potential paintings. I've always liked my work best in the Flickr thumbnails... perhaps I should have been doing more real thumbnails all along!

Well, maybe not the WHOLE truth: last summer I started drawing the various spoons I got with my ice cream and gelato. The page was filling up alarmingly fast and, fearing that the Master might peruse my journal and start to tote up my indulgences, I abandoned the project and filled the page up with totally innocent art supplies.

My art friends (wonder how they would feel about me calling them the Art Posse?) met at a new-ish saltwater aquarium store to paint and draw. I had expected the fish to be remarkable, but I was really surprised and blown away by the coral - all kinds of shapes and totally unexpected colors.
