Finally

After the months and months of doing the Peacock I needed a break, something that wasn't so loud and bold to look at and was light to hold...so, I did a watercolor :)

Title: Finally
Artist: Mesa Rose, 15 years old
Finished: beginning of 2013

Watercolor was supposed to be merciless because if you make a mistake and put some paint where you don't want it, it stays there but I found it so easy and relaxing to work with. I felt like I was just slapping some water on a piece of paper like you used to do when you were young. Watercolor has such variation, you can make it soft and gentle or sharp and bold. It's lovely, try it sometime, you will lose track of time :)

Peacocks have Corn on the Cobs

So I finished my painting, another oil after working on it for just about a million years.
It is my 7th painting and plan to send each of the pieces around the world so someday people will try to collect all the pieces that dot the earth. (Sounds like a treasure hunt to me)

I have no idea what to do with it because it doesn't go anywhere in my house (according to mommy.) So as all of my paintings, it leans against the wall waiting for something exciting to happen.
