Another May Painting

In my effort to do a painting every day in May,

as proposed by Dana on her blog,

I've come through six days out of eleven!

Here's today's effort:

This is an orchid I brought as a house gift to a friend a couple of years ago.

It was so pretty I took a photo, and just now pulled it out.

I dug out this little set of Windsor Newton watercolors

 I got  about forty years ago. I think it was called a "field" set, easy to carry when painting outside. 

It's interesting to me that I used to draw and paint frequently as a young woman,

but when my daughter was born, I became intrigued with fabric used as an art medium.

Also, my 'alone time' was lessened by the business of motherhood 

and my concentration definitely shifted. 

It's a bit of synchronicity that I responded to Dana's challenge 

when I saw it on Anne's blog. I'm enjoying making these little paintings and am thinking 

of doing more - definitely, at least, for the rest of May!! 

Hope your week has been a good one!!

Thanks for stopping by!
