Watercolors



People say that watercolor as a media is very unforgiving, well this is mostly true because you can not just paint over something, however...
The above illustrations show the changing of the picture as i decide what I have done wrong. There are significant changes and this is how i change a watercolor as I decide where I am going.

This is wonderful. Who is the subject?

A very beautiful lady named Jenny, who I have blogged about previously because of her intense struggles to survive in this area with 4 children (one grown up, one mentally disabled and an ex who refused to pay child support). She has a kind spirit as well and is a joy to be around. The titles are a series of 5 posts called the system does not work-part 1 thru 33 and an aside and the light at the end of the tunnel way back in May of 2008.

Bty the way Ricardo, my painting does NOT do justice to her beauty.
