Tonight's watercolor Saturday

This was a painting tutorial and she really does some fantastic stuff and I've always wanted to try something of her so I did. I know I've been gone way too long, but I have been so busy. I haven't had a chance to even sit down and paint, but I'm back and I'm hoping I get to paint more but the holidays are approaching and I have things that I have to do. Miss you all. Hope I can find evening time to paint.
I have lots of Christmas cards to paint yet.

detailed considering that making such sharp features aren't probably that easy to make on a rough surface.

Nice.

It took me two nights. I got tired last night
Looked at the clock and it was 11:15 time flies when I'm sitting there painting.

Some are better than others.
I was always pretty good with birds. Wish I was better at cats.
