This is a watercolor on watercolor canvas that I am trying out.  I did not wet it first, just applied paint. I do like the result , kept it simple.  I probably will continue using 300 lb paper for the most part .

I am making good progress painting the portraits of the 5 ladies from the past of the Winona area that I received a grant for.  The portraits will be donated to the Winona History center in Feb. of 2013.  I am not going to show pictures of them until the opening . I seem to be in a 'portrait' phase . I have several more to complete as well.  I am also getting ready for a show at the Red Horse gallery in Fountain City in July. More information on that to come.  Stay tuned : )
