Finished my tulip watercolor. Added a John Deere.
You can’t tell real well in this photo, but it is a 3-D relief using foam board for each row of tulips and the tractor.

Class Demo
Created some watercolor cellophane roses as a class demo and decided to make a bouquet 😍
Nearly finished with a new painting. It started out something completely different than what it is now. The field of tulips was incredibly boring, so I decided to add a tractor. In order to add a tractor I had to cut the painting apart. When I started cutting it apart, I decided it needed to be 3-D. Here’s the progress.
Quote about how to think about art
I’m in an art history, theory and critique graduate program. Dr. Daniel Siedell had this to say about our 20th Century art course. It’s a wonderful quote about how we look and feel about art, especially modern art.
“We begin our exploration of 20th century art, criticism, and theory with a turn inward and a turn away—a turn inward toward the artist’s (and viewer’s) conscious and unconscious emotional states and drives and a turn away from traditional roles of art as representation of the merely visible world toward explorations of emotion and the basic formal elements of line, form, and color that make a work of art a work of art. We’ll discover that these are much more than developments in form and content but strike at the heart of what art (and human creativity and consciousness) is and its role in a modern world transformed by Einstein and Freud, physics and psychoanalysis, complexity of the cosmos and the complexity of the self. ” ~ Dr. Daniel Siedell, June 27, 2016
