Ornaments


Used the rim of a glass to draw a couple of circles, hand drew the rest, and got to town watercoloring with Derwent watercolor pencils.

Three ornaments would be more pleasing to the eye, and a sentiment would be nice, but this was just about the relaxing challenge of watercoloring, of making something that's going nowhere, for no reason other than it felt good to make it.

MOOD WHEN DONE = Relaxed

What a delight to see your post in my inbox! I don't 'miss' the third ornament and your water coloring is divine. I'm hoping that this post means you are on the upside at this time and can enjoy the season we are in.
Hugs!

Fun and pretty too! Who cares if the "numbers" aren't what others want, your creation can be EXACTLY what you want it to be!
