Day 7 of the June 2018 Direct Watercolor Challenge: a Hereford cow. Once I got the outline done, I decided I liked the way it looked so I stayed with only one color.

Day 6: Bottlebrush
Day 6 of the June Watercolor Challenge: a bottlebrush bloom in my yard. Remember, part of the challenge is to paint without an underlying sketch.

In Ingram, Texas, you will find Stonehenge II, a replica of Stonehenge. They also have some replicas of the head statues from Easter Island. I painted this on location!

Day 4: Alligator
Day 4 of the June Watercolor Challenge: an alligator. This alligator is the subject of an art quilt I’m working on. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve painted it in watercolor (maybe 30?). I’ve also created a few prototypes with paint on fabric followed by quilting. Nothing worth showing yet.
I don’t know where the dark line on the snout came from. I must have fallen asleep with the brush in my hand.

Day 3: Grandmother’s Coffee Pot
Day 3 of the June 2018 Watercolor Challenge: My Grandmother’s Coffee Pot. And let me just say that while a watched pot may never boil, a wet watercolor takes forever to dry in between layers. Or so it seems to me.
