Francey Pants

Hola mi Cielo! I hope you all had a lovely week. I've had a busy one and I finally decided that I needed to work on a new painting! Usually, I work on paintings that I can finish up in a night, but this time......I've got a serious situation, LOL! I've been dreaming of EuropA! HIJOLE! I've been looking through old photos and I came across one that I remember saying I was going to paint. One problemO........it's going to take a while. Look at all those stones! Gorgeous. This was on a Sunday, in the South of France. One of my brother in laws lives there(LUCKY DUCKY). This was on the walk back from lunch.......YES......the walk back from lunch... to their house. So, I started running up the steps and it hit me!!!! STOP...GO BACK...TAKE PHOTO. LOL!!!

Take a minute to really look at EVERYTHING. The stones, bushes, the shutters....WOW! The only thing that is missing is the Nutella, LOL!

Here we go... First, I need to balance everything on my paper. I have made a few changes. Lets see if you notice=0)

Getting things done... day by day. You can only imagine how many hours I've been working on this, LOL.

My baby just took her first breath.

I started painting last night. How many different greens do you think I used? I started the wash on the bottom stones, but they will still need more. With watercolor.....there are MANY layers(lucky me). I paint....I wait....evaluate...and add more paint. I have no idea how long this painting will take, but I have to take my time. One day, I hope that they invent a watercolor eraser, LOL!

I hope you like my project. I will do a part DEUX, when I finish.

For now, think of me the next time you have a little Nutella=0)

Wishing you a gorgeous week,

XOXO,

Carol
