New Year's Resolution

I made a promise to myself that this year I would do something EVERY day, either a small painting or a drawing. I have been inspired to do this by a number of fine artists who do this every day regardless. One of these is Loriann Signori who recently won a Making a Mark award for her daily paintings. Another is Lisa Daria whose small paintings are a delight.She is also an award winner.

So I made a start yesterday with this small sketch of the stream and trees at Windarra, where I am now living. I didn't get around to posting it the same day though so I will have to do better! So this is really yesterdays' painting.

As I don't yet have a studio space set up, doing these small watercolours serve a dual function. I can do some painting with the minimum of space and fuss, and I can also get back into the swing of working in watercolours again.

  1. That's a lovely piece. BTW, I hope you are not close to the places that are flooded - which if I am right are to the north of where you are.
