Watercolor Painting Clean Up

L Watry©2012
I have a feeling of accomplishment today. With the classes I am teaching, commissions, and paintings I want to paint, I have a pile up of unfinished paintings in my studio. I hate the feeling of having projects laying around. So, today I set about getting some of them finished. The photo shows some of the completed paintings. Unfortunately, I still have about 8 more to go!  Hopefully, I will find some more time this weekend.  I still need to complete the painting I did in the John Salminen workshop last August. I have a band painting drawing ready to go, but I have told myself to wait and clear some old paintings out first. It is so hard to be disciplined sometimes.
Blue Columbine Mini LWatry©2012
This is one of my miniature paintings. It will do double duty as a color study for a class demonstration and I will frame it and place it at Arati Gallery for sale. I really like painting columbines. They are the Colorado State flower and they are beautiful. My miniatures are 2"x3" or 2 1/2"x3 1/2" and I frame them with mini frames. They are like little framed jewels.
