New watercolor journal

[Doreen Peri]

I bought a watercolor journal. It's small, only 7" x 10". There are only 12 sheets of watercolor paper in the journal and it's spiral bound with a black leather-like cover. Between the sheets are blank sheets of plain paper. I think I'm going to add hand-written poems to the regular sheets.

So, this is my first one...

Watercolor w/ pen & ink


"Pink peonies in a blue vase" - clever title, huh? lol

[judih]

i love that title. love the subject and love the painting.

peony poetry
colour caress
mmm ooomph finesse

[Doreen Peri]

Thank you, judih.

Trying to find my medium.

It's a little cartoony.

Well hell, life is a little cartoony. lol

Dear Doreen: (posted at midnight!)

Can there be anything more glorious than watching a sketchbook ( or journal) fill up? Some of the shelves of my studio are filled with neatly ( my wife did it) lined-up sketchbooks and illustrated journals. All are fragmentary, like my life and work.

Some are thirty-five years old. In their pages, it's really shocking to see that wild young man who used to run beside me, drinking, wenching and raising Hades.

So here's to you-- and your lovely pinkness on your sacred paper. There's nothing as close to you except your skin-- cheek-to-cheek with your illustrated journal.

Pretty flowers, by the way.

Your friend,

Zlatko

Zlatko - you are a dear friend! Thank you so much for your support and comments.... I would love to see your journals/sketchbooks.... Your wife is a doll for organizing them like that for you! "There's nothing as close to you except your skin"... god I love that!

Dave - Do they have art museums for amatuers like me? Gimme their phone number, could ya? lol... thanks for your encouragement, Dave!

~K - It's the vase that had me hypnotized trying to paint the darn thing... Thank you!

Here's page 2.. Ok don't laugh, alright? I can't draw a straight line.

This one's called "Two Chairs, A Glass Table, Watercolor Brushes and a Ladder to the Sunset" (hahaha... another clever title.. I guess I figure I better tell people what it is in case they can't see it.. heh.. i crack myself up)

[Dave The Dov]

It's not looking to see if you can draw a straight line. It's more like saying WOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! That is gooooodddd!!!! doreen you should look into seeing if there are any galleries around where you live. That just might be interested in your work!!!!
