alone & together

Gris Grimly is an artist Adam really likes and Saturday while I was looking through a published book of his art (Where Madness Reigns) I saw two watercolor paintings I feel in love with. There was one of a boy standing all alone on a hill looking grim and another one of a boy and a girl separated. There was just something about the way he created the mood that I wanted to try.

Here are my versions.

It was a lot of fun to do, but it certainly made me realize I know nothing about watercolors, loading or dispersing the color. I really really want to take an art class and am hoping once the girls are in school I can make it happen.

Oh and on a good news note, I heard back from the doctor and my growth was just a simple mole. :)

Oh, please don't! If you develop one more amazing talent whilst I sit here and remain the same I might just die. Ok, a little dramatic, but still... Is there any end to your creativity?
