Day 5- When your Muse has taken a day off-

Day 5- Tulip season (When your Muse has taken a day off)

5 x 7 inches, watercolor and gouache

 

I am slowly replacing my watercolors with gouache. Each time a tube finishes I buy

the equivalent color in acrylic gouache. I have come to really appreciate the way gouache can have a substantial feel of 'body' but can also be very, deliciously transparent.

Generally I feel ms.Muse has been quiet, but it comforts me to know this usually happens right before she comes up with some new, sudden push forward. Trust

your Muse when she 's quiet...Keep working.

 

Supermarket tulips-

 In watercolor-5 x 7 inches

In acrylics on canvas- 6 x 8 inches. I am trying to keep all the watercolors at 5 x 7, and all the acrylics at 6 x 8 inches. I think it points to how obsessive I can be... No matter. It works. A girl has to do what a girl has to do!
Is spring going to come soon?
