No Patience

I bought a giant set of colored pencils because I admired someone's work with them.  Now I find I just don't have the patience anymore.  So I took out the watercolors and painted this.  No drawing first.  Just paints splashed on and gouache when whites disappeared in my enthusiasm.  Maybe tomorrow I'll have more patience.

Great Harvest

Great Harvest has started selling their spring breads which necessitated a trip there on a cold morning after a 9 inch drop of white fluff.  While waiting for Bruce to come out with the cranberry orange bread, Teddy and I watched the sputzies line up eager for fresh crumbs.  They got closer and closer, allowing me to take some close-ups leading to trying to capture them in pigments.  My first attempt with colored pencils fell short, but then I took out the Derwent Inktense pencils and they seemed a bit more cooperative.  You layer on the color and then wet it with water and it becomes "Inktense."
