Today is Monday! Normally, not really something to be excited about, but I am taking a watercolor class and it's on Monday nights. So, it's a good day. I went straight over after work and found a little grassy area where there is a picnic table and worked on a little experimental painting. Just trying out different techniques and feeling out what my brush can paints can do. Let me just mention at this point that I will be taking a jacket with me next week! It was COLD out there! Brrrr.
Anyway, as I was painting, I heard something behind me and when I turned, it was this squirrel. It was so close, it was kind of freaky. He kept coming towards me, the I tried to snap his picture and he would move away, then come closer. I was almost afraid he was going to run over and up my leg or something. Sheesh, these city squirrels are certainly friendly! So used to people around. Their suburban cousins are a little more private. Sorry the photo is a little blurry, but it's a squirrel!
Not sure if I totally want to share it, being an experimental painting, but I thought I would show my "wet on wet" painting from class tonight. I wanted to try to paint a landscape without drawing anything ahead of time. It's fun to see what the paint does when you put it down and swirl it around! I need to play around more during the week. Time for bed now though.
See you tomorrow!
