I so like the way you simplify shapes and your use of colour Ricardo.

Thank you Sylvia, you're too kind. But I do think I'm drawing nearer a process/method for how i want to approach watercolour. A large loaded brush, and not being fuzzy with details :)

Thanks Sylvia, Paul set me a challenge as I haven’t been doing much art as my Parkinson’s and arthritis have been playing up! Just needed a push clearly!!

I had a discussion with a friend the other day. We talked about art and our favourite paintings, and the "what if you could chose one famous painting" - question arouse. I thought long and ended up surprising myself. I typically enjoy modernist, some impressionist and expressionist art the most, not renaissance stuff. But I ended up picking Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus". Not sure why but my decision stands.
I would have to choose almost any one of Klee's watercolours from his 1914 Tunisia trip. If forced, I'd go for one of the several entitled Kairouan. Deceptively simple yet marking a before and after moment for abstraction. [edit typo]

I commented once that one of your postings reminded me of Klee. I like his North African paintings too…the colours and the details.

 10-15 minutes sketch that I might use as a painting some point ,I often doodle sketch then develop it into a full sketch or a painting. Have a good Christmas everyone and make it a new year resolution to do more sketches, I’m certainly going to try to get  back into the habit.

I've just started this sketch, where it will take me, I just don't know but I will be merrily sketching away today and tomorrow, no point in painting with visitors and so on. So have a wonderful Christmas everyone.
