On The Brighter Side

I have had the reference photo for this painting for quite some time now but it never appealed to me as much as it did this time.I was really caught by all the blue and the strong light on the street.I now wonder, why wasn't I interested in painting it earlier.It happens with me very often.Some day I don't find a subject very interesting but the other day I can't resist painting the very same subject.Does that happen with you too or is it only me going through this "Artistic mood swings"?:-)

An Off Day

Boats make such an amazing subject for painting and I so wanted to paint them.Unfortunately,these days I do not get much time to paint. Even a few days break from painting made me feel all rusty.The hot temperatures here made this watercolor piece even more difficult for me.The paper dried up so quick and I couldn't manage to get the desired result.I also ruined the paper at some places.:( I wish and hope to learn the art of time management too so that I get to paint more frequently.:)
