It's called: Escape.
I imagined leaving the cookie-cutter, same old, day-in-day-out for just a little ride out above it all. Maybe I'll run into some like-minded folks taking another balloon ride?
This was my first, quick attempt at watercolor. I like the richness of the colors, but my little set only has 6 basic colors, so the skin on my sketched person looks funny.
Also, I need to get a new scanner. Sigh... in time!
oh Michelle, I am SOOOOOO with you. I am ready to leave on the next heart balloon you paint up!.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with your first attempt at water colors, you've got nice deep colors in this piece! excellent.
xo
I was dreaming of escape this sunday too! (Though mine went in a totally different direction.)
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch!
I'll see what I can arrange for you...
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun sketch!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be great to hand on a balloon and fly through the air? This a fun sketch. Make me want to take Balloon ride.
ReplyDeletethis is gorgeous, it speaks to me of such freedom! Wonderful interpretation of 'escape'.
ReplyDeleteFun sketch! *floats*
ReplyDeleteI really like this - come and join the whimsy here ~ http://dthaase.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteLove the whimsical escape.... but if we couldn't really just grab a balloon and up, up, and away, for a momentary escape from it all.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the late visit, Michelle. I LOVE it! LOVE LOVE the red heart balloon. =) Hugs!
ReplyDeletevery cute!
ReplyDeleteI love having lots of colors to choose from!
Nice job for a first attempt and only 6 colors. Just remember though that every color known to man is derivative of those 6...so mix them up and you will be amazed at how many you actually have at your disposal.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great job for your first attempt! I want to come too...perhaps we can find a balloon vendor and sail away in a group...:-)

ReplyDeletevery well done!
