"Shark" Watercolor on paper. 7" x 6"

Framed 13 pics today using ones donated and some leftover which are stored just outside the loft room in the common area. Almost forgot to paint I was so into the framing. For this one I painted the shark on one of the sheets I had used to experiment before painting the water on the Kwajalein boat picture, titled "The Worthy." I had tried about 15 or 20 different techniques for the ocean, some using salt crystals to create the effect. I believe this was one of them. I tried the various techniques about 6 years ago, thinking I would finish the painting at that time, and still had them laying around!

"Empty Garden" Watercolor on paper. 13" x 7"

I have come to the point where I need to start planning what I am going to paint. Spending way too much time at the loft playing pool and musing about what to paint before I even start. Perhaps I should have several concrete ideas in mind as the week begins. This is a challenge!

"Toucan" Watercolor on paper 7 1/2" x 6 1/4"

I tried to just think of what to paint and then paint it quickly. I thought; jungle bird, feathers, leaves, shadows. The goal was actually to have something a bit more impressionistic. Looked up Toucan on Google images when I got home to see if it was even close. It turned out O.K. considering it was totally from imagination. It might be a baby Toucan with some slight deformities.
