This is a quick little watercolor in a sketchbook of my son Nicholas’ toy dog Luke. It’s not on watercolor paper, just sketchbook paper, so it didn’t go exactly as planned. Maybe your day is like that, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t beauty in it. Whether it’s a perfect day, or a regular day, there is good in it. You and I are breathing, let’s get after it and make something better happen!

For some reason, this little watercolor fox in my sketch book, reminded me of a publisher logo. It’s funny how images can spark inspiration, memories, or ideas. As we seek to add value through words and pictures, I hope it at least sparks a smile for you today.

This is a watercolor of the same subject as the sketch and iPainting of Perspective, only much younger. It’s another example of how we can view people differently on different days.

This is a quick watercolor I did on lunch this week. I knew I didn’t have a lot of time to do a full watercolor, so I saw a image of a partial Saxophone player. This is my quick rendition of it. First, do what’s important, pour into your Faith, your Family, and your Friends. Then, make a little time for play. It may not end up being a masterpiece, but the practice will make the next painting better.

Some times the simple decorations can be more spectacular because of the memories they cause to sparkle.
