art time!
The Bug and I spent some time after school today painting, her with her watercolors and glitter glue, me with my slightly-more-grown-up tubes of gouache. I'm starting to really, really love gouache. It does a lot of the things I can do with oils, but thins and dries quickly like acrylic. So this is a little sketch (in gouache and ebony pencil) of the irisis I cut from our front yard this weekend.
I could see doing a whole series of these. I'm actually working on getting prints of my newest bird paintings ready to sell on etsy, and if I do more of these flowers I could see putting them to a similar use.
