Not sure if it's finished

I had a few canvases laying around that I had painted a looooong time ago.  I was itching to work on something, so I gessoed over one of them and got to work.  I did a lot of this with my hands (i.e. finger painting) which is my favorite!  I drew the flowers with neocolor watercolor crayons.  I'm not sure if I'm finished or not.  I don't want to over work it.  I like the simplicity of it.  Anyshways, I'll give it a little time and then revisit it later.

Unfortunately, I don't have my regular camera, so this was taken with my phone.  It doesn't do the colors justice. 

Adventures are my favorite

During the AED month, I used a lot of products and papers that I don't normally use.  It was fun seeing how different supplies create such different effects.  My favorite surprise was the watercolor washes on the cold pressed watercolor paper.  I normally work in a Moleskine or plain art journal, so the color isn't as vibrant.  With the cold pressed watercolor paper, the paint stays true to its color.  I will definitely be buying more of that paper to play with.

When my sixteen year old daughter saw this she said, "Hey!  Did you get that from me?"

I did.  She says it a lot.  Which I find funny, considering she spends most of her time under the covers, snoozing.  I'm pretty sure there are not many adventures to be had whilst sleeping, but whatevs.  She's a growing kid that needs their sleep.  Right?

Great Read

I recently got this book at the library and I cannot put it down!  It is an amazing story about one woman, her cells, and how they have changed the course of medical research and technology.  I highly recommend this book.
