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.

This is the creation for today - a small watercolor - 5" x 7" and is painted on 140 lb. Arches cold-pressed watercolor paper. It was a very pleasant way to spend a winter Saturday afternoon.
Thank you, Norena! Do I have any tips? I think it would be great to spend an afternoon painting together and I could show you all my "negative" tricks!
Gorgeous and fresh. Hard to keep up with your daily paintings, Barb, but I also go back and catch up when I've been absent :) Love to see what you're doing - and that pouring technique for the old truck is going to be great!

You are the official queen of reverse painting! Any tips?
This is really beautiful, with those details on the flower and leaves, I really admire your patience.

Thanks, Cora...some might call it obsession - not patience! :) I can't help it - it is just me. I would love to become a loose woman - I keep trying.

Rhonda...thanks for you encouraging comments. I think I am going to try to pour today.
