I have been painting up a storm even though I haven’t posted here on WordPress. I am not going to fret to see that these photos are blurry. I thought I would try using my Fire Kindle to post, so if the quality is off you will know why. The painting above was completed a couple of weeks ago.
Another painting of the Yuba, where else?
This one was from last week.I have to admit that I miss WordPress but if you want to see what I am up to follow me on Instagram. I am pearlpsalm37 on there.
This is a plein air pastel from several years ago which I thought was a failure at the time. Now I like the moodiness and unfinished appearance. I have been sharing older paintings such as these on Instagram.
I hope to drop by now and then to let you all know that I am still alive and well. Until the next post, cheers! 💖
Excellent, as they reproduce nature picturesque!👏👏👏👌
Many Greetings Babsi

Dear Margaret,
These are beautiful. You are really making the watercolor sing. i do believe you have figured out how to use your whites and how to balance dark against light, detailed against suggested form,and warm with cool to emphasize distance. I particularly like the third one with the two big rocks for all of these reasons.
Thank you so much for posting. I hope you will post from time to time as you are able. I don’t have access to the other viewing sources and was truly wondering what had become of you.
Your painting, and your work approach are an inspiration for me.
I look forward to seeing more of your journey into painting here on Word Press from time to time.

I forgot to mention to you that Instagram is viewable from your computer. I forget if you have to set up an account first but you can view or comment (which does requires an account) I had an account for over a year and when I got a Fire Kindle I was able to upload photos. Anyway I thought I would let you know. 😊 before then, I did looked at art on there and followed people.

thank you! There are three forks and covers many miles. My personal favorite is the north fork, the colors are more varied. The Mighty Yuba 😉 love it!

Oh I meant, the colors in the rocks are more varied…..and the mosses and lichen are richer in color and variety as well, probably because it is in colder country. 🙂
