Daily inspirations, musings and fun art

I have been trying to immerse myself in art. I am mostly working in watercolor and oils lately. I am still very much enjoying painting landscapes and portraits and have more ideas than time to paint. I am trying to try new approaches in my watercolor and oil portraits, so I challenged myself to painting 100 heads this year. Below are heads number 3 and 4. I was working on making the skin glow in the watercolor painting and was working with indoor light in the second painting.

I found a wonderful figurative artist, Carla O'Connor. Here is her web site: https://carlaoconnor.com Carla is a Seattle artist that has a distinct style and works in watercolor and gouache. Her paintings are very dream-like and unusual.
