Today's Painting A Day Challenge Painting ... I simply love the colors in this little painting! I enjoyed painting this little painting this afternoon. Getting access to my computer to upload it here is the biggest challenge since I have a kitty who has decided laying across the keyboard and mouse pad is the perfect place to take a nap.

Today's Painting A Day Challenge is a dew drop painted with three different brands of Payne's Gray paint. Even though they are all labeled Payne's gray, they definitely have different hues. I love the way this one turned out. I was inspired by one of my own Tuesday's Tips & Techniques for watercolor painting.

My Painting A Day Challenge continues through the month of May. Finding time each day to paint is beginning to become a little trickier as the weather becomes warmer and my schedule fills up more and more. I am finding the time to paint, it's finding the time to up load and show off the paintings on my blog that is even trickier! I do love to create a new painting daily.

Three more additions to my Painting A Day Challenge. The quiet solitude of a small dingy attached to a mooring while the big boat is off cruising the seas. A single elongated water drop to a trio of orange dew drops. I am so amazed and simply love the outcome of Simply Glowing Drops, the colors are amazing. This miniature piece of art is even more brilliant in person. I love painting these miniature works of art everyday and I am so delighted others enjoy them as well.

Miniature works of art and three more additions to my Painting A Day Challenge and the Dew Drop Series. With the Itty Gritty Dew Drop and the Dew Drop on Clay, I began to play with more unusual backgrounds. Colors I have not mixed together before. I love the venetian red used in the Dew Drops on Clay, it reminds me of the clay soil from down south.

Three additions to my Dew Drop Series and my Painting A Day Challenge. I love painting the Dew Drop series in this size, but I often do think of painting them larger as well. More and more I keep hearing, how does she do that? Simple answer, I paint them in watercolor! They have been mistaken for photographs more than a few times.

In between enjoying the bright sunshine, cleaning house and catching up on a few things, I snuck off to create today's Painting A Day Challenge. I wanted to create something with a bright colorful background so I quickly pulled this little flower together working the background first.

Enjoy your Saturday!
