The September 2025 Creative Gathering, Days 8 – 15

9-2025-Days-8-15, SMDelgado

This week I explored a different approach to watercolor landscapes. I had a breakthrough, and will be practicing this more. The artist starts on wet paper and thinks of the whole piece. I often start mine on dry paper, and work one area at a time.

There were a couple of florals. Honestly, I couldn’t think of what to paint so I used my default. Again I was trying for a loose and sketchy looks. They fell short, but I am happy with both of them. 😉

A series of patterned abstracts brings me to mid-month and closes out the week on a bright note. I have included some close ups, the details are sometimes lost in low resolution images.
I am working on 6 x 6 paper, the coneflower is 4 x 6.

The February 2025 Creative Gathering Collages

Days 16 – 30

For the second half of the gathering, I explored the desert landscape, minimal abstracts and florals. Along the way I moved from collage mixed with digital collage, to digital collage alone. Pattern remained a constant.

For the last three days of the month, I reworked old paintings. These are from 2015. Can they really be that old? I started a class, that reminds us to revisit old work, and see if we can adjust or update it, to use for different purposes, such as licensing.

Here are the originals. The last, was a tiny bookmark.

I learned a lot this month, and had fun along the way.
Surprisingly, I never hit that 3rd week, “I wish we were done.”, wall. Very nice!

I have to admit, I miss watercolor and I am anxious to get back to my brushes.

I apologize for not posting more often this month. Time did fly!
I didn’t even post to my Facebook page.

I’m so thankful for your interest and support! My art friends mean a lot to me!
