For me, the Gouache seems to work best in small dabs, where lots of blending isn't needed.
The "leafy" landscapes seem most successful.
I used the same reference for the July 4th scene, and I like both results.

Since a collector wrote me and said that she was going to buy yesterday's, but it had already sold, I was encouraged to do a second version of the same one. They always turn out differently.

As was the case with the first version, this one can be cropped to any smaller size you need.

It felt good to paint again today, after a pretty big clean-up post Missy Kayla's visit (my 7 year old granddaughter). We had a great time, she really enjoyed VBS (Vacation Bible School) and even though all the grown ups were exhausted afterwards, I'd do it again next year in a heartbeat.

Isn't this one nice? I took my time, spent two days on it, it "feels" summer-ish to me.

My painting time will be limited this week, since I have my granddaughter visiting, and attending VBS with me at church next week. (Vacation Bible School). I arranged to be teacher's helper in her grade group, so it should be fun. The rest of the time we'll spend playing with blocks, coloring, reading, swimming, her tablet and little games (at which she' s a whiz), and goofing around with the piano here. So far we've picked out "Hot Cross Buns" and "Twinkle, Twinkle" , so much fun. (Well, with help from the online free piano lessons.)

Here's Miss Kayla:

reading "Where's Waldo."

This painting she started for me this morning by painting the sky, a deep, deep blue.
It reminded me of beach, so I took my palette knife and went at it.

This is just what I wanted to paint today, a happy, tranquil landscape. Doesn't this look like the kind of place where it would be great to have a picnic table, a cook out, while the kids play along the shoreline?
Ah, summertime!
