Today I received some criticism about a recent painting. Some of the things commented on I am going to try to improve upon. Others I think I am limited by the paper I am using. While it is a reputable brand of watercolor paper it really isn't one I would choose to use due to the surface texture that often makes it difficult to keep the paint/water where you want it to go. However, the paper was given to me and since watercolor paper is quite expensive I am going to use every last sheet! :-) It just makes my job more challenging--and I just remind myself that I do like a good challenge! The remaining comments I think would have been averted if the person had seen the photo I was working from. Anyway, although it is somewhat discouraging to receive such comments, I am thankful for criticism (in small doses!) as that is how I will improve. And being members of the human race, we all have room to improve! :-)

Today's painting is another one of the miniature donkey farm. It really is quite peaceful to watch them slowly move from spot to spot. I hope I was able to capture that peacefulness.
