"Seed"

I have this amazing book about trees. It has the best illustrations so I knew I'd find a good seed picture for inspiration in there. I saw this picture of a fig, with the cross section, showing all the wild seed action going on inside and I said YES, THIS IS IT. I present my fig and its many many seeds.

This is for the "favorite" prompt. This is the full moon we get in April, The Sakura Full Moon, if you're lucky enough to live where the cherry blossoms are prolific, you get some cool shots on your camera. This is my favorite part of spring, when the cherry blossoms in my neighborhood make the most beautiful pink canopy, made even more gorgeous by sunsets. It also signals spring is here, it's going to be warm soon.

This is for the "Butterfly" prompt. I've been using markers a lot lately, particularly Sharpies because they're easier to hold onto while my hand is in rehabilitation. I did the outline, using a black sharpie, based on a butterfly sticker book I was looking at and combined a few wing patterns since my hands didn't always cooperate. I didn't intend to color it in but I was sitting in front of tv and had my markers sitting out so it just kind of happened.

I used the prompt and video for "fruit" and decided to paint this banana that I'm patiently waiting to eat. I'll have to go back and paint tomatoes from my garden in a few months, unfortunately we are stuck with store bought fruit for now. Here is my Costco banana. :) 

Watercolors on 4x6 cold pressed watercolor paper.

Bubbles!

Background is watercolor paint that was mixed with dish soap and sugar. I blew bubbles into the jars and let it dry on the paper to create this effect. After that dried, I used old containers and dipped them in acrylic craft paint to make the big bubbles. I used a dotting tool and paint pens for the smaller details because I'm practicing using my dominant hand again. It's my first attempt since surgery last week so it's still a bit weird but I'm happy with any progress. This is done on 11.5in x 8.5in watercolor paper.
