Welcome to Barb's Daily Creations! I have lofty ambitions - I want to post a new drawing or painting every day. The purpose of this, of course is to stay creative and on task artistically even when I may not feel the muses calling, prodding and pushing. I hope that you enjoy my humble efforts, because, ultimately, that is the purpose of creating art - to enrich lives - mine and yours. Thanks for visiting!
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.

Blue Mug With Two Brown Eggs
Today's offering to the muses - 6" x 8" - is painted on 140 lb. Canson Tientes cold-pressed watercolor paper. It is painted from a Wet Canvas reference photo by Bortai.
Janet - I was also happy with the background and unhappy with the lines around the eggs. I obsessed over these eggs - the paint persisted in accumulating on the edges - which caused a darker lined area - you probably know what I am talking about. Because they were so hard to paint I decided to just leave them alone. I also don't like the line on the light side of the mug. Thanks for commenting.

Love the looseness with which you painted the bg. Not too sure about the almost outlines around the egg in places???

Hi Barb, I like this very much. The line doesn't bother me at all. It gives the composition a modern look. I think it's wonderful!
I am very much enjoying these daily posts.
Peggy...Thanks so much for your encouragement - thanks for commenting.
