I'm working away on the big story I mentioned the other day, which will actually be more in the way of improvisations on a theme--- as opposed to a completely cohesive story. It's all so embryonic at this point---who the heck knows exactly what it's going to turn out to be? I assume it will take on an impish life of its own. Anyway, I'm still also doing my other things, like faces, and random sketches, so here are a few of those from this weekend.
Oh, and I'm just going to keep posting things, but I won't identify the major theme as I go---you will have to see if and when you spot a thematic connection. At some point, I will probably spill the beans, or someone will guess, but who knows where or when?
Oh my goodness! As I was scrolling I kept thinking Oh! I must tell her how wonderful this one is, then I would get to the next and think, no, this one is even better, and then the next, and the next.... It's all such beautiful work Laura. I am in awe...

Wonderful loose watercolor! Are the ink looking lines before or after the watercolor?

Loved your comments!! Thanks so much for them---you all are great. Yes, they were Schmincke paints. The pink hair is a mix of magenta and manganese violet. The woman is E, a fellow art blogger. I better get her permission before I give her link and name. The restaurant is Weathervane, not in France, but here. My birthday was last week---thank you for your warm wishes. I 'm really enjoying my mystery project, too!

I love the painting of the sink! It looks so shiney and wet. You're so good at textures.

Beautiful work Laura...I just love coming here and seeing colour. You are a wizard with a watercolour brush! They are all stunningl, but somehow I'm just fascinated by that sink with all the stuff in it...maybe a secret desire of how gorgeous my reality with brushes and pots and stuff waiting for cleaning could look?
