It can't have been 5 weeks since I've put anything up! The creative doldrums really took over, I got busy, had a pout about what was not happening in my studio, and I didn't go in....for 3 weeks or so. Today I realized that I was only perpetuating a negative state of mind, and I sent myself back in. The tiny things I had done and cast off as awful looked a little better to me today, so I am putting up a few, They are ATC size, 2 on gesso-covered moleskine paper (not the nice stuff) and one on 300 lb. cold press. So we have a stubby palm tree, a row of tall palms that you see lining some streets in Los Angeles, and a tribute to the canyon view from my house. The row of palms was done in watercolor pencil, the others in traditional watercolors. And all are imaginary landscapes.

I am also working on a larger piece, trying to capture a Joshua tree in watercolor, taking some time with it. If I get some ambition I may post the stages so you can suffer along with me.
