What if?

Day 16 of 30 paintings in 30 days...
"The Group"  Watercolor and ink 14 x 11 inches

     Today instead of starting a new painting I decided to ask myself "what if" while going through some watercolors that were complete, but I was not really happy about.  I was curious what adding some ink lines to the paintings would do.  What did I have to loose...nothing.
    I got so involved with this I ended up reworking 3 paintings today.   The Tulips were first, next up a couple cat paintings...

the original watercolor
Added some line work with ink....












But didn't stop there, decided a cropped version looked much better....
"do Not Disturb"  6 x 8 inched matted to 11 x 14 inches

   One more to go..added some ink work...
Then again did some cropping, (one of the things I love about watercolors is the ability to crop them if needed)
"So"  8 x 6 inches matted to 14 x 11 inches

All in all a pretty productive day :)
