Hollyhock

So I decided to branch out a bit.  Today's offering is a simple hollyhock plant.  I tried using watercolor pencil to draw lines on the petals, but I don't know how successful I was.  While I don't dislike the finished product, I don't truly love it either. I think that I rather like using a brush better, but I still want to give it a fair try, so I'll probably do this again.

Well, I had fun painting, hope you have fun viewing.

Splatter Splatter

I love a good splatter painting.  It can be very cathartic to literally throw some paint around.  You get to be messy and sloppy and it all works out in the end.

You can probably tell that I painted these in the same session.  They use the same colors, the same positioning, and generally the same feel.  Usually I will have included a few buds in the painting to allow for something a little more natural, or as natural as a splatter painting can get.   My head must not have quite been in the game when I did these, or I'd have included a few.

Well, anyway, they have nice colors in the, and aren't too hard on the eyes.  Enjoy
