A Painting A Day Blog ~ Andy Smith

6" x 4" original watercolor ~ SOLD!

I liked the color on this little landscape.

Painted and visited my Mom today. Waiting
to see what the hurricane will do. I need to decide
if we are going to Portsmouth, VA. I may need
plan B!

ABOUT THE PAINTINGS:

Each watercolor is painted on Arches 300lb Cold Press paper. I use transparent watercolors occasionally adding ink to the wash. I paint in a series of washes to build color, creating shadows and a strong use of light. The PAINTING A DAY paintings started January 1, 2007. Variations in monitor settings plus my camera skills may not exactly duplicate the actual colors in the painting. I do my best! I plan to work in two sizes. An image of 5"x5" with a 1/2" border or an image of 4"x6" with a 1/2" border. You will need to take your new painting to a frame shop to be framed. For shipping, each miniature original watercolor will be placed in a protective sleeve with a foamcore back. The new paintings will be posted for sale via Ebay. Paintings that do not sell at auction are then placed on my show stand at a price commensurate to my other work.
