Pemaquid Lighthouse

THIS place is so beautiful and relaxing. I've been trying to get here for a few weeks and we finally found the spot! Crashing waves and sail boats. Only an hour from the house. Very few people and most were locals.

 

Found some great lamps at Wayfair! Also the arbor is ever changing.

 

mixing greens and black

Check out my water...I was mixing blues and reds to get black. So cool! Anyway, I also mixed an entire sheet of greens with my new Daniel Smith watercolors. So pretty. Even as a rookie I can see a difference in the Prima greens and blues compared to Daniel Smith  Those pallets are pretty but chalky and not as natural.

Just swatching watercolor is very relaxing and satisfying.

water colors

Got my new tin and already out grew it! Dang. This organizes my colors much better and have new set of Daniel Smith coming so left room. 

watercolor practice for the week

 I took this magical photo at the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, MO. The light was so magical and then I had some fun in photo shop with it.

Tried to paint it with not much luck. The pansy is so flat as well as the clematis. Will try, try again.

New roof on the queen Anne

The roofer's got some great shots with a drone after they finished the other day.

One of them stood on the highest peak talking on the phone the morning they were done. He told his boss he had only an hour left and let out a "mainiac" howl
AAH OOOOL when he hung up!

Everyone is thrilled that is over...

tarot for the pandemic

My friend and I read the cards at the beginning of this pandemic. So interesting to see how relevant the cards were and we both felt comforted when self healing was final result. Who knew that six months later things would seem still really scary.
