Passing Fancies

Just a thought...
Happy Friday to all!

This little watercolor is based on an ink sketch I did here in my Moleskine. It kept "calling my name" as they say, and I just had to do it. Since DH thinks I really ought to do SOMETHING to fund my art (and I have to agree with him, even though I have a full time day job) I'm going to be putting it up for sale (so if you're interested let me know ;-) .

I'm asking what you guys think about it -- what, if anything, does it need to make it feel more complete or better?

I happened to keep a record of how it progressed, too -- so if you're interested you can see it here.

The last few weeks, I've taken a break from the computer (sorry to have just disappeared!) and have been painting and painting and will be posting something tomorrow (I hope!) Meanwhile, this is a photo from a trip to Ijams Nature Center the other morning with the two wonderful nieces from Arizona and our friend Marcia. Yep. Sometimes it IS all about the equipment ...
:-) Now, to catch up on e-mails, etc ...
