Sparta Art Contest.

This Watercolor painting on canvas was entered in the Sparta, Michigan Art Competition during Sparta days.  It won first place.  I am honored by this as it is very infrequently that I even get noticed.  I am not good with the politics of the Art World.  I do not know the common speak.  I struggle with the receptions and with the language that is spoken their.  This is not to say I have not found some good people here.  It is that I just do not feel I can make it here.  I am struggling with myself and my identity at this point.  I am struggling even with painting at all.  I do not know how to get over this.  I will post only occasionally and am sorry I can not be more consistent.

Simple but nice.

Simple but nice.  This flower is a very simple but nice portrayal of both color and light.  I liked the purple and periwinkle as well as the blends of green.  I know it has been a while.  I am hitting a wall I have not had before.  I will try to continue to post but forgive me if it isn't always regular.  When my mind gets back I will again try to be more regular.  In the mean time enjoy.
