Rose study 1

Painting number 2, a rose study. 
This one is a watercolor.

We are having a nice cool day today.
 Spent the whole morning processing tomatoes from the garden and making spaghetti sauce. Once I get it all cooked down and ready I will can it so we have great sauce for the winter.
It really takes forever though!

Blue Vase

This is my first feeble attempt at oil painting. I painted it this morning alla prima. Although I know it is not good, especially the background and lack of depth, it still makes me very happy! I did the whole thing with a palette knife, which was very awkward for me. I have never painted with a palette knife before. It is a beginning anyway and that is what makes me so happy. I am going to try to do a painting a day.
