This is one of the pieces I didn’t have time to finish while at the water color pouring workshop in Tucson.  It’s a pot with bogenvilla spilling out of it.  The concept is to draw the image, then pour paint over the image, mask off some of the light shades, then pour again.  At this point it probably has about four pours.  All the paintings look great with the masking on, but when it comes off you can be disappointed because the colors are lighter, as the masking gets covered over again and again with paint.  I had this and one other which is at a similar point shipped home.  The teacher says I need at least one more pour (I think I did two more after this picture) and then I can scrub off the mask and see what’s there.  I don’t know if I want to know!

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.
