Number 18 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days

"Trumpeter I"
WATERCOLOR
on Arches

It's Day 18, and I needed to change up my
medium
I LOVE painting every day,
but there are tasks that
become mundane.
One of them is preparing to
paint in oil and 
then the clean-up after.

I wanted to take a break.
LOVE LOVE LOVE

Today it was right there for me.

These swans migrate through
the property of my aunt
and uncle's in the Ozarks
area of Missouri.

Thanks for the photo Emily!
