Size: 2.5 x 3.5 inches 
Last night was the first night of a new set of watercolor color classes that I am teaching.  I think we have a good group of people.  Class supplies have been ordered.  I placed a big order for supplies and all I got for myself was one tube of watercolor paint and some acrylic varnish.  I could not think of any other art supplies at the moment that I wanted or needed.  I've decided I have a gazillion brushes, tons of watercolor paint colors still fresh in the tube.  I may as well use up what I have as far as colors go, although I did really want to order a special treat for myself.  I do want flat files but I believe those go for more than I will get paid to teach the class.  
Today, I painted the little Forget Me Not flowers in a varying tonal values of the same color to try and give the painting some depth.  When I was finished I had a big puddle of periwinkle blue mixed up and decided I needed to paint something with it.  I then created Periwinkle Sky.  I love painting little landscapes!
