Watercolorist Wannabe? Just a try.


Yesterday Anne invited me to try my hand at watercolor painting. Not something I had ever tried before. But I have certainly admired so many of the local artists here in La Paz. So I gave it a shot. The upper photo is my rendition of Venice. No, those are not FAT BUGS in the lower center of the painting.

And this second painting is my rendition, copied vaguely from the next photo down in this blog, is a calata or a skeletal figure used during the Dia de Muertos celebrations. I had such a wonderful time doing these that I may have to try again when I get back to Iowa. Something to fill the long winter hours to come.
