Kate's watercolor class





This is a great class! I'm taking Kate Johnsons Online watercolor class. I took it on a whim --just for fun -- thinking any amount of practice would do me good. Well, I'm actually learning quite a bit and there is a benefit in seeing everyone elses work as well. I am just getting into watercolors and this has been VERY helpful. Here are my studies for tree bark, moss, flowers, fruit and tomatoes.
The tomatoes were an interesting find --There from my garden. I picked a variety of plants in the spring and one of them turned out to be tiny, bright yellow pear-shaped tomatoes.... and BOY are they good!

Found this at the corn wagon today!

The Corn wagon is at a local farm that brings a big flat wagon full of corn for sale...
12 ears for $1!
They also have peppers, cantalope and eggplant, etc...this one reminded me of the statues on Easter Island!
Check out the photo below!
