The
color challenge this month is the color blue! And boy, was that a tough one for me! On top of the color challenge I broken open the
Dr. Ph Martin Watercolor set that my mother-in-law gave me for Christmas.

Using this new set was a bit different but alot of fun. I like this kitchen painting I made but after working on this for a time I realized the blue is supposed to represent something tranquil. So I painted 'Canal'. I enjoyed the exercis of doing this one:)

| This is the painting I submitted for the challenge:) Its an abstraction called 'Canal' |

| A bit messy but I'm experimenting. |
This month has been hectic and been a little hard to get some time to stop and do some painting. I can usually manage to squeeze it in but we've go so much happening and plus work...Looking forward to a calm April!
Take care! Tomorrow is Friday- yippee!

Wonderful "blues" artwork!
The painting you submitted for the challenge is fantastic, great job :)
I think you are getting along just fine with your new watercolor set!
Take care, Fran. ((hugs))
Your 'blues' piece is gorgeous! I've always loved the freshness and simplicity of blue and white together. Wonderful work!
I hope things slow down a little for you too.
Have a relaxing weekend,
