30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 21!!

"I've Got Rhythm!"  $145  (watercolor and markers)  11" x 11" image
Yesterday, I babysat my granddaughters all day, so by the end of the day, I was pooped.  No painting at all yesterday.  So, this morning, I thought, keep it simple, and get 'er done!  I love elegant writer pens, because you can sketch with them, and then if you put a wet brush on the lines later, it will smear. I like that "out of focus" effect.  I did a contour drawing of another crow, and decided to add doodling within his body.  Keeping the background simple was a "must" against the busy crow.  Because it has piano keys in the body, and because he looks like he's stepping out, I named it "I've got Rhythm".
