Entry #4 :)

 So, where did I leave off--okay, the mounting board got painted and dried so I forged on and removed my paper from the foamboard, staples and all, and REWET it. Going on faith, I restapled the paper to the new board in the hopes that by morning the paper would be successfully stretched. If not, I would have to await the delivery of the tape to proceed. The paper stretched!!! So now the real work begins.

Okay, so I have put in a few hours of painting now over two days (with a bit of golf between:) and I am pretty happy so far. I feel the colours aren't perfect  but at this point I am going to make do. 

Water colour paintings are a love/hate process (often more hate than love) but as I look at what I have accomplished so far, I am feeling pretty good about it. There are layers upon layers of colour and I have a long ways to go but here is the stage I am at presently.
