Day 12- 30 Paintings in 30 Days!

"Happy Hour"
Wow, it feels so good to be done with my challenge painting by 4:30, instead of nearly midnight! 
This painting is a redo of a subject that I painted a couple of years ago.  This time, I used watercolor, whereas I used gouache last time, and the other change that I made was to use a square format this time. 
I really like the simple shapes in this painting, plus I love patterns, so that was really fun to paint.  This brings back such good memories of my time in Rapid City, SD, when the Northern Plains Watercolor Society hosted a wine tasting party on one of the evenings of my workshop.  I loved teaching there, and am going back in August this year to teach "Painting People with Personality"; this includes everything from Crazy Ladies to paintings similar to this one. By the way, I learned how to use simple shapes from Donna Zagotta, an excellent instructor.

  2. Randy, I love your paintings, especially the poppy field that you posted yesterday. I love reds, ever since I visited Sedona many years ago. Hey, I posted second on Jan. 17th! Yay!
