Playing with Watercolor

I've got a large sketch book that I use to work out painting ideas - but I also have been doing some quick all-in-one-go-no-we-won't-wait-for-things-to-dry watercolor paintings in there.  I find these infinitely fun.  I love playing and not worrying if the end product will be crap.  I'm going to do more of these for sure.  I usually just have a magazine photo or black and white computer print out that I use as a reference photo.

Owls are always fun.  After I did this one this guy popped up later in an acrylic painting that I made.

The oldest tree in the world.  This is also coming around into a larger painting.  I'll post links when those are completed.
