This painting is for the Watercolor Workshop September project - paint something abandoned...so I had a photo I took one evening of a house that has been abandoned which is located on a remote county road in Logan County and decided to paint that. The painting is 9" x 12" and is painted on Canson 140 lb. cold-pressed watercolor paper.
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.

I'm Baaaack!!! The Final "Rusting Through Retirement"
Well, after 6 days in the hospital and several here at home recouperating from 2 blood clots in my left lung, I am finally back to painting...it has been WAY too long for my taste. I am doing okay - taking a lot of meds and trying to regain my strength and my breath.
I worked on this painting yesterday and finished it this evening - finally. Now I want to frame it tomorrow so I can enter it in a show on Thursday - I'm pushing it pretty close, I know! Wish me luck!
