Another walk to the middle beach on May 15 and it didn't rain, so I finished this one on site. I haven't been painting much, at least not successfully. I try to think of the failures as a success in learning how not to do things, but lately it is getting discouraging.<br />

I began this on Sunday when I walked to Middle Beach, but had to stop when rain drops started hitting my painting. I finished with a photograph yesterday morning. I had moved the tree in the middle over to the right when I sketched, but forgot I wanted it there and copied it where it was in the photo. I love the colors of sweet gale and equisetum this time of year.

Spring is slow coming here, with not many nice days. At least the snow is going away with the rainy days. Saturday afternoon was lovely and I spent a couple of hours walking and painting at the beach. Over the winter, thankfully, the beach and upland meadows have been closed to vehicles. I'll be spending more time there as the warmer weather comes.<br />
This is my favorite spruce which somehow has been saved from being pruned by the spruce tip pickers. Each year, I'm amazed by the growth of the small trees. As the rebound continues, a forest is beginning.Carole Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03874480972964140819noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272488.post-68707096497265665172020-04-13T15:16:00.001-08:002020-04-13T15:16:25.228-08:00Florida Trip<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

We made plans in December to go to Florida at the end of Feb. for a couple of months, considered cancelling because of the virus, but went anyway so I could have cataract surgery. And I did, just in time before the doctor stopped surgeries. I'm seeing colors a lot more vividly, everything is way brighter and my distance vision is amazingly better. I'm now having trouble finishing a couple of paintings started before the surgery...values are off from what I remember.<br />
<br />
We flew home on March 26 and have been on strict quarantine ever since and will stay that way for however long it takes. <br />
<br />
These are the few little paintings I did while there, and all but the next one were done before surgery on either eye. This one was done after the first eye.<br />

We made a short trip to Cedar Key where I painted the oak tree at the top of the post and attempted to paint scrub pines without success. I remember trying to draw them when I was a kid. I tried to draw every needle. <br />

Posting on this blog had become a routine last year, but faded away soon after my bilateral knee replacement on May 1.... no, actually it dwindled before when my challenge of a year of a watercolor painting everyday pretty much fizzled in January and and did stop in February. Soon after my surgery my dear husband, Van. had a couple of major medical issues happen, one after the other. We've both made numerous trips to Seattle, Anchorage, and Juneau clinics and hospitals...I can count ten between the two of us, most of which we went together.<br />

My long anticipated art show at the Juneau Arts and Humanities Council Gallery in Juneau happened in July. That entailed lots of framing, taking all my paintings to Juneau in my car on the ferry, hanging it for the opening on July 4, and staying in Juneau for a week to get the ferry home. then another trip on the ferry to take it down at the end of the month. Then the ferry workers went on strike while I was there and I had to fly home and go back to Juneau one more time and get my car and bring it home after the strike was settled. I was thankful to have friends Aimee and Artemis and Van's help. With all the hassle I was happy to have my paintings seen, sold a few, and left some in the gallery there. And I enjoyed seeing many of my Juneau friends and meeting new patrons.<br />
<br />
I managed to get outside with friends and do a few watercolors. these are three that are presentable. <br />

Earlier in the year, I had booked a 3 week tour of China for November with a friend that I almost cancelled several times, but Van insisted that I go as he was recovering. So I went, and it was an amazing trip. Much of the trip was in cities which were huge. I loved the time cruising on the Yangtze River for 5 days, but most of all Guillin and the Li River.<br />
Here are a few little paintings that I did. <br />

Now we have been home since the end of November and are hoping that there will be no doctor appointments for some time.<br />
<br />
I finally have no excuse for not getting back to work in the studio, but I've finding all kind of excuses not to. If there was a prize for procrastination, I'd be a winner. My trips downstairs to the studio are mostly followed by sorting through stuff, looking at old paintings, then piddling with my stuff some more. Joining two session of life drawing has got me at least drawing, and just writing and posting here is giving me a feeling that maybe I'm breaking through the inertia that had set in. New Years usually gets me motivated and hope springs eternal.

It has been an eventful and busy last couple of months and I've let other things take precedence over my daily watercolors. I'm now preparing for a show at the Juneau Arts and Humanities Gallery for the month of July, getting things framed and hopefully a couple more oil paintings finished.<br />
<br />
Part of my show will be many of my watercolor postcards. Looking for some way to display them, my neighbor found nine storm window stored in her garage which make very good frames. I was able to temporarily mount about 22 of them for each frame. I would like to have done them chronologically but as they were different sizes and I wanted as many on a panel as possible, they aren't in order.

Sadly, daily watercolors and posting on this blog have not been priorities lately. This first one is of an iceberg in Glacier Bay from a photo I took in 2017.<br />

This was painted from a photo I took at the beach last Saturday and painted that afternoon. <br />
<br />
My year of painting a little watercolor almost everyday is almost over and I've been having a hard time keeping up this last 2 months. In fact I've hardly done more than two or three a week for the last few month. I have done several sketches for a tshirt design for a fund raiser and am still struggling with that, and have made progress on a couple of large oils. January is usually a productive month, but not this one.<br />

These are some more cream pitchers and I have six more from friends yet to paint. This one is part of a set inherited from my husbands family. Its been in a cabinet for 40 years. I used part of the set it in at least one still life painting, previously.<br />

I'm in Juneau for most of a week and haven't had much chance to paint.... medical appointments, shopping and dealing with lots of snow. On the ferry ride here on Wednesday, I planned to paint and saw the most spectacular sunset, but Lynn Canal was so rough, I was close to nausea.Carole Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03874480972964140819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272488.post-1421642471399109172019-01-06T09:55:00.000-09:002019-01-06T09:55:09.994-09:00Some Recent Watercolors<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Winter Solstice was yesterday and today is a longer day! This was painted yesterday from memory of the almost full, almost solstice moon as I saw it rising at a little past 4 pm on Friday. The moon was full yesterday.<br />
<br />
I painted this today.<br />

Over the years I've accumulated dozens of objects to put in still life paintings. I decided to make another accordian book with some of them. I started with this cream pitchers then started finding more around the house and have now started borrowing from friends. These are some I've done so far.<br />
<br />
The pages are about 5x5 inches. I may add a table underneath and will write about each one <br />

I took the ferry to Juneau on Monday for an appointment on Tuesday, and painted this while stopped in Hoonah.<br />
<br />
I waited for a plane to come home on Tuesday but the flight was cancelled because of fog, so I returned on the Wednesday ferry.<br />

This is the third time I've painted this view from the ferry docked in Hoonah where we stop between Gustavus and Hoonah. It was a shorter stop than usual and I did what I could.<br />

We had a break from the rainy weather on Tuesday and I drove down to the beach and caught a beautiful display of light in the sky from around two until about 3:30. These are two of the three paintings and I took a bunch of photos too.

I just keep getting more and more behind in my posting, so today I'm posting most of the little paintings I've done in the last couple of weeks and will start with a new one tomorrow.<br />

Always a stop when I go to Central Florida is the <a href="https://www.floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/lake-kissimmee-state-park" target="_blank">Lake Kissimee State Park</a> and for me the live oaks are the main attraction. This year I went with my brother and didn't have time to paint, but painted these from photos later.<br />
