The Red Dress
I've been wanting to participate in Paint Party Friday for awhile now ~ well, since the beginning....but something always intervenes.
Today I am finally able to post something. Although, I posted my newest piece yesterday. Like the distracted person that I am, I forgot about PPF ... So this is a watercolor that I painted a while ago.
I really enjoy the quickness of watercolor...no time to futz around, it is what it is. And then you just move on to another piece. I've always rather liked this one, maybe because I like red dresses, wild hair, and boots :D
Off to visit some Paint Party blogs....Have a great Friday!
LOVE this! The colors are excellent! and i love her hair and expression!
ReplyDeleteI love her Maggie!
