This week I worked on a stitchery I am making for my sister. I am using the bike pattern and turning it into a pillow. I also worked on some paintings, though they did not come out as well as I hoped. The directions are basic, so I follow along when I can and do my own things on other parts.
This one came out darker than I meant, but with water colors, it is hard to fix mistakes. It is a nice way to relax and get the feel of doing watercolors, before I do my own projects.
The next one was a white daisy. I followed the instructions, but the flower looked plain, especially against the white background. This is one I wished I had practiced a muted background on, then the white would have worked. So, I painted over what I did in yellow shades. The butterfly was colored this way, but not very realistic. Even so, I enjoy the process.
Today I didn't do much, seems I caught another bug, so I am taking it easy. We have nice weather, not too hot and no rain, so hopefully we can get out for a bit this weekend. I hope everyone had a good week and good weather this weekend.

Hot and humid in northern Ohio!
Feel better soon.
Hope your weekend was good and, by now, you're feeling back to normal. Really hot here today and again tomorrow and then storms coming in. Hope they're not too strong. I like your paintings - especially that first one. I think the darkness add depth.
