I attempted watercolors again and they turned into mud. I also had to add some colored pencil at the end to make it look decent. I have always heard that watercolors are the most difficult painting medium. Sure, one can paint something that looks o.k. if he or she doesn't know how to use them, but then it sort of becomes something other than a watercolor painting, doesn't it? Watercolors are supposed to be delicate and spontaneous, not muddy and forced. But that's o.k., I suppose--all I'm doing is trying. It's not like I'm entering a watercolor competition or anything...
Now I need to get my butt going. I feel like I have so much to do this afternoon before I meet pals for appetizers at 4:30. I have to exercise and wash my hair as I don't want to have to do that tonight. I have to go see a cat. And finally, I need to watch another episode of Mad Men (my friend and I are going to start watching the second season on Sunday, so I have to have all of season 1 watched by then and still have 5 to go). Such hard work to do on my day off;) Oh, and I probably should tweet one more time, don't you think? The burdens never end...
Oh, and just a plug, because it's all so very interesting, make sure you read my tweets on the sidebar.

I heart the rhino and your tweets are so fascinating. I don't know how anybody gets anything done anymore what with having to keep the world posted on what they are eating. Cyberspace is so demanding. Very demanding. I hope you can squeeze in all the things that need doing b4 430 as otherwise I might die of boredom--at the bar---drinking alone, waiting for others to appear.
See ya later. Tweet. Tweet.
Love your red sky rhino watercolor/drawing. Very pretty colors.
Hope you had fun at the bar last night.
