Summer Tea
poured watercolor
14×20″
Yesterday, I got some very exciting news. I have received signature status with the Northwest Watercolor Society. The official certificate arrived in the mail and I immediately put it in a frame and hung it in my studio.
That makes the second signature from a major watercolor society that I have received this year.
My courses for the summer are winding down so I can now spend a few weeks preparing to return to school this summer. I have plans to clean out my studio, finish a few projects I am working on and get some writing done for the thesis.
My daughter no longer has her early morning class (6 am) that I drive her to and from. I usually wake up around 5 am just so I can shower and be alert enough to get her there.
I had this great idea that I would still get up early and instead of the class, I could work on painting and the thesis in my pjs. Ha! It is Day 3 and can’t seem to get out of bed before 7.
All my above plans are not going too well.
The painting above I have posted before. It is one that I did last summer at a demonstration. However, I pulled it out last week and decided to add some more color to it.
That post can be read here.
See if you can notice the difference.
Congratulations, Leslie! Very well deserved.
Thank you Angela! I am sure that you are not too far behind. I know you will have similar (or the same) letters by your name soon.
How exciting Leslie, Congratulations! You've had a busy year, so enjoy a late morning or two. Have you added more red values to this painting?
Thank you Laura! That is how I am trying to justify the late mornings but now I am feeling a little behind.
Yes, I did add more red to the painting! and just a bit more yellow to the grapes.
Congradulations, Leslie!!! It is a well-deserved honor!
Thank you so much Kathryn! And thank you for coming out to my show. It was nice to see you.
Congrats, Leslie!! No surprise, becuase you deserve it! Keep up wonderful work. Look forward to your fabulous work onward.
Best wishes, Sadami
