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.
EDM # 100-- Draw or paint a landscape.
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.

Congratulations on getting back into the swing. I like the landscape very much!
Glad to see you back! I am looking forward to seeing what a Joshua Tree looks like - I have not heard of them before.
Glad to see you back. We all have gone through those times. Happy Creating!
Yes, congratulations with getting back to painting again, I can relate to the frustration of being in the slump of things... I was stuck in mine for over a month. Glad to see that you got out fo yours. I like the mountain painting.
Lovely!!!! And well done on getting back up.... I am still searching for the time and energy to climb back up :(
Ah, it is the suffering that makes it all worthwhile! Things usually never go right while I am doing something, and often it comes out okay in the end. I really like the palm tree - the textures and lines are very creative.
love the palm tree - so bold!
