Paint what's around you?

Hi everyone!  Here we are, mid June, and I really haven't painted very much this year.  A couple of tiny art cards, a couple of abstract blooms, and this.  They say:  "Paint what you love.  Paint what you know.  Paint what's around you."
So I did.  At my painting table, I looked to see what was around me.  My small travel palette.  Brushes.  The curtain.  A spray bottle.  So I sketched and painted what was around me.
Hope you like it.

Lovely painting!
Do you know about the Daily Paintworks paint challenges? Every Saturday they post a new painting idea and everyone can post at their site! They get a lot of traffic. They did a "Paint what you paint with" challenge that this painting would be perfect for! You can still add it.
When you have a moment, check out my art blog!
Happy Painting.

Hi Dorice Thanks for visiting my blog, I cannot believe this you are a watercolor Artist!
I love to paint in watercolor, believe it or not mine would be more non structured wet in web free form, I am a traditionalist in basketry and chair caning, however I don't want anything structured when I do watercolors. I guess it is a creative release for me not to be traditional in this area.
