One of the most basic tenets of composition is the Rule of Thirds. Although most people are familiar with this technique it is often forgotten in the haste to take a photo. However you ignore it at your peril as it can make an average snap into something which is has tension and dynamism.

I had been painting for about 3 months, watching tutorials on uou tube, practicing different techniques. I was feeling confident. I had a blank sheet and some inspirational pictures around me and started to build a picture. Once the flow came it was like a wave, not stopping until I wad happy, finishing it off with the bee in the flower. I love bees. Felt overjoyed at my achievement in this piece.

Persistence is the name of the game. I am quite pleased with this one!

Title or Location: Lunch Counter/ Madrid Spain
Went to Spain for 2 weeks a year ago. While thrilled to see the work of Velasquez, Goya, Microsoft and Picasso, it was a treat to be part of everyday life there. This was a scene I photographed at an enormous Farmers Market. The color of the bread caught my eye. Madrilenos have wine with lunch. So civilized.

Title or Location: Calm Waters
This is the first painting I?ve done from my imagination, and my 5th watercolour painting. Done on a drizzly Sunday afternoon in between cooking a family dinner. I wanted to test a set of granulating paints for the first time to see what effects I could get, using only 1 colour granulating paint and Paynes Grey, it?s created quite a moody evening effect. I?m looking forward to learning more about watercolour and developing my skills.
