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.

Day 2 of the watercolor challenge (and no drawing before painting).

A Hereford and a Longhorn on my way to and from being out and about. I’d have more photos of cattle of all kinds except that I usually see them when I am on a two-lane road without any shoulder or any place to pull over safely.


I’m participating in a challenge for the month of June: paint a watercolor every day. Here is my Day 1 effort: a lily. Part of the challenge is to paint without an underlying sketch or drawing. Oh dear. We’ll see how that goes. I didn’t wait quite long enough for the flower paint to dry before I added in the light blue background. Better luck next time, right?
