Good weather,bad weather.

Now it's raining.The sky is cloudy and gloomy.I am reading a book.The right time to read isn't it? I took advantage of the beautiful weather yesterday.The morning was cool and fresh before the summer heat hit.I hung some clothes to dry outside on the line and sat in the garden to read a book with a glass of cold lemonade.Then I went on a bike ride.It was so nice and beautiful by the river!A light breeze was blowing,the air was full of fragrances of flowers and plants,of bird song a and bee buzz.Unforgettable moments.My memory is full of the images and feelings of yesterday.The pictures that I post are not from yesterday though.They are from other happy moments in the past.

I Am Done With My Watercolor Challenge

This is the last watercolor of the challenge I started in my other blog -Vanyas Art Journal- in order to improve my skills in watercolor.I am glad I completed it successfully and can go on with another one.I am thinking about a similar challenge with acrylics on paper.

The Bike Trail In Fall-Watercolor #5

I am posting the same painting in both my blogs as I haven't worked in acrylics and oil recently.In my other blog ,Vanyas Art Journal ,I started a challenge: to complete a whole watercolor sketch book -15 sheets before I switch to another media.I started it in order to improve my skills using watercolors.I like to work with this media but I don't like the way my paintings look at the end.So my challenge,I hope ,will help me to become more confident with this media.
This watercolor is #5.Yes,I already posted five of them and I have two more to go.If you are interested you can check my other blog clicking on the picture in the side bar of this blog or on the link in the list of my favourite sites and blogs.
