Big Step
I have a dozen pieces at a photographer's shop in Cahrlottesville being photogrpahed. Once I have the digital images, I will then make fine art prints, frame them and sell them. Hopefully, this will be a nice source of income so I can build a studio by our house!

The Infinite
Every time I pick up a fresh piece of paper or a blank canvas, I am staring at infinity. Each one holds the possibilities of anything. The bounds are endless as to what they could contain, and how they could be approached. The infinite is in my hands.

My First Palette
After weeks of work, I think I have finally developed my first selection of palette colors. I think every watercolor artist struggles to identify the colors that they feel represent them, and also work well blending with other colors (blending is a vital aspect of watercolor painting). Some of the colors I have chosen are not great at blending but they still offer other aspects that I like. I have also placed Holbein's Leaf Green in my section reseerved for yellows as that is how I am probably going to use it. All of the other colors are Windsor and Newton. So, going from left to right around my John Pike palette are the colors:
Leaf Green
Winsor Yellow
Quinacridone Gold
Indian Yellow
Raw Sienna
Winsor Orange
Permanent Rose
Brown Madder
Winsor Red
Cobalt Violet
Winsor Violet
Winsor Blue (red shade)
French Ultramarine
Cobalt Blue
Manganese Blue Hue
Viridian
Winsor Green
Cobalt Turqousie Light
Permanent Sap Green
Antwerp Blue
