Short Sands Beach, Cape Falcon at Oswald State park. No one owns the Oregon coast. No fences. No keep out private property signs. It's the best. #oregoncoast

Fun exercise trying to figure out some of Jawlensky's colors in his crazy cool painting of Galka Scheyer which I got to see this week at the Norton-Simon exhibit in Pasadena What a treat! #impressionisticwatercolor #colorpractice

At this time of year Beautyberries (callicarpa) appear in Portland and are a nice source of food for songbirds. A favorite of the Cedar Waxwing, or Jaseur des cèdres, in French (I think) I'd love to know what Beautyberries are called in French ! #beautyberry

Picasso at 20 starting his “Blue period” heading toward the “Rose period”, he is quoted as saying : “I was a painter and became Picasso…The Blue Period was not a question of light and colour. It was an inner necessity to paint like that.” #picasso #watercolorportrait #impressionistart #aquarelle

Picasso in 1904, from a photograph by his friend and fellow artist Richard Canals. Apparently moving from what is described as “Blue” to “Rose” period. Best guess is he is styling a “puff tie”, love to know what that pin-striped suit was made of #practice #picasso #aquarelle

Isle of Skye, an April visit. And what is my fondest memory of the island, a friend asked? Well, besides Portree, the eggs, yes the eggs were magnificent, their color! #scotlandhighlands #watercolourart #isleofskye #blueskyeart #blueskyart

A practice effort on one of André Derain’s awesome paintings, I believe his title is Près du Cassis completed in 1909. (This title and date attribution may slightly incorrect) Trying to solve the colors puzzle is really fun, a good way to learn. Derain is so great #andrederain #aquarelle #practice

From an unknown painting I stumbled across 5 years ago, ( can’t figure out from where:( but I loved the colors and figured a little exercise to get away from being too serious about the outcome would be good. #watercolorpractice #color
