Well, Charlie, you pulled off the bug’s-eye perspective on this one! The only reason it looks like a giant is that you haven’t given us anything else for comparison. Although, to an aphid, this is a dreaded monster!

Charlie, I like all the color you brought in to the water. Great job on the goldfish and the glass; as usual it is stunning.
Happy Valentine’s Day. I stayed home, too, but then, I was teaching a student at my house. -

Great job on these, Charlie. You observe and recreate the details of every subject. I can tell that you have a bank of lights in the room where you were painting, as each egg has several highlights. Your shadows on the carton give it dimension and texture.

Do you eat them? I’m always looking for new ways to try them out.

It is never a waste to use your paints and brushes. The most important person you paint for is yourself. I like these pinks and purples and that you left some white paper for contrast.

Ah, Julia, the edges are perhaps the hardest part, yet so important. One has to leave that little white edge in just the right place to give the shells some thickness.

Thanks, landon. With eggs, about all one has to paint are light and shadow with a little color. (And, yes, I exaggerated the color.)

Thanks, Charlie. It’s even more of a challenge with white eggs, but I didn’t have any on hand.

We all need something bright and cheerful in the middle of winter!

So glad I could brighten up your day, too!

And as winter teases us with an occasional warm day like spring, it’s important to have bright things around!

I bought three plants to sit on the kitchen windowsill. I wasn’t thinking of painting them when I bought them, but when Charlie suggested flowers, they were there.

It really ended up being a texture picture, didn’t it?

Thanks, Pamela. It’s nice to know that what I was trying to say came across. I wasn’t too sure on this one.

I love bare, naked trees! Beautiful painting!
Nice job..
I love your work Ruth
Beautiful! I remember that kind of tree line…blue sky and all.
They look beautiful the way you’ve painted them, Ruth!
I also attempted the same Mind of Watercolour tutorial. My results were not as good as this though ha ha.
