Took a photo of this small wagon in Rouen. 
I love old French cars and all the fabulous French doors.
Rue de Florence Rouen Normandy France
Why didnt I use the second one. Duh. I know redo time. Another sketch. Lol.
Twisbee pen Dartrementis document brown Ink hahnemuhle journal. Not liking the paper a lot. Charles Reid palette colors.
Margaret Xoxoxox who has one more Baldacci book to read before her Amos Decker binge is done. Xoxoxo
Finally painted this. The hahnemuhle paper was a trial. Couldn’t lift any of the alizarin which is a staining color. I should have fished out my other pink for a change of color. Oh well. It’s just in the sketchbook.
Earlier. Mike reminded me to loose some edges Which I did try to do. Not easy on the hahnemuhle paper.
I think that’s why I need a Charles Reid class every year. A refresher class. Lol.
Guess this year will have to make do with the video since he’s only teaching three times a year now. 😢
The sketch.
Maybe a do over in real watercolor paper. What do you think??!

I was going to paint but NO. Not to be I did get an entry into the SC Watermedia Show. 
Waiting was the winner. 
Course I entered this copy.
I had a few other choices. Hmm
Abt 20!!
I meant to enter the Ferrier and forgot by the time I actually got logged in and password right.
Margaret who was out to lunch and never published this one. Xoxox
I just feel like drawing. My Mother’s Day Flowers still going strong this am. I meant to paint them before they are dead. Not today not tomorrow. Maybe Sunday?!!
hahnemuhle wc journal and a 2b big fat pencil. Maybe a caran bdache?!! A freebee at some watercolor show or workshop. Usually a 2B is much darker. Oh well.
I also have to get this painting repainted for a friend. Who knew it would be so popular. I wanted it too but the first painting that sold at my show in February. A popular painting.
Fabriano cp 300#
It sat on my kitchen counter for a couple of years til I framed it. And I miss it. Maybe I will repaint myself one too?!
I worked on the background a bit on this bird today and like it better except that unfortunately dip in her back. Of course that’s easy to fix with a bit of tape and a mr clean or a sea sponge.
Wonder what else I can NOT do right today.
Margaret. Xoxoxox still being lazy. Not a good thing with the Ga Watercolor Show deadline looming on June 10. Eeekkkkkk
She may need something still. Off to another friends house who definitely needs a cheer up.
Kilimanjaro Cp 140 # Dewey inktense pencils and watercolor
Margaret whose gotta watch Big Bang. Last show. 😢😢😢xoxoxo
Wasn’t going to do this today. I have a friend who needs cheering up so this postcard is flying off to the friend tomorrow. 
And of course it’s drawn from my favorite photo I took last week.

Margaret who is going to eat a salad for dinner. Xoxoxox
Is this very nice red barn set in a field. I think I have painted in three times. Sometimes it’s fall sometimes it’s spring or summer.
Maybe I need to try it again on my HP arches. What do you think?!!
This is on 140# cp Kilimanjaro from Cheap Joes aka their watercolor paper. Runs about $100 for 25 Sheets. I think I still have a few sheets of it left. NICE paper.
LUCKY I DONT live in Asheville. There’s a Cheap Joes 10 minutes from moms house. Sooo dangerous. Love all the Cheap Joes stores and the Asheville one is killer.
Margaret trying to finish her David Baldacci book. Xoxoxox and cook dinner. I never cook dinner aka salad is moi.
Of Asheville to see my 92 year old mom.
A foot sketch while I caught up the latest episode of Game of Thrones. NO spoilers allowed!!
All Watercolor pencil. Hahnemuhle sketch book.
Margaret on the road again. Hmm might be my middle name. Xoxoxox
Stones at Parafugel Spain on the Mediterranean. Did I go?! NOPE from a photo of Vlads. I didn’t even like the photo just couldn’t make up my mind what I wanted to paint that I had a photo of. 
Sketch on 140 lb cp rough Fabriano.
Sky wash. Cerulean w a dab of MIXED neutral tint. NOT about a tube of neutral tint but a mix of burnt sienna indigo and dioxzine purple.
I blotted the clouds w Kleenex and dabbed in some of the neutral tint for shadows.
Warm wash over all the rocks.
Moving along with step 2- 50 color/50 water. Really hate it. Especially rocks in middle foreground.
And here’s how I left it. Green tree in background IS distracting guess I will fogk it up. Rofl. Manana.
Margaret ready for bed. Xoxoxox Up early in search of THE photo.
No it’s a thrasher. The Georgia state bird. Evidently kills smaller birds. Bad bird. Have a big one 11″ or very leggy at the back porch feeders. Never bothers anyone. Maybe mine is a lady thrasher. Lol
Remember my grandson said I could sell these for $3 rofl.
