Blue, white...and a couple of hippies

I've just finished another watercolour in the <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-artworka-prototype.html">blue and white series</a> I started a few days ago. My mum has been a collector of blue and white china since I was a child, so I guess it stands to reason I'm quite partial to it myself. Here's painting #2:<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvct8sveTOya9sbSWsunLocKhN18SZZQ7X6BEntxBq-RaDjdqkWm-vxV0yR64GQjWzEaSglAVqeMkKDN3PRwQ4ePqsTXwXh_lbIiJmgrq8-Viya1mloLDyu6YsuVkF1er0oWeiizWyUKU/s1600/ginger+jar2resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvct8sveTOya9sbSWsunLocKhN18SZZQ7X6BEntxBq-RaDjdqkWm-vxV0yR64GQjWzEaSglAVqeMkKDN3PRwQ4ePqsTXwXh_lbIiJmgrq8-Viya1mloLDyu6YsuVkF1er0oWeiizWyUKU/s640/ginger+jar2resize.jpg" width="423" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">      I painted one without the background</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwYlresQI9fowLJaJ4XKstUiVDieKRVJp92G96O-rSKpnNBFLZE6589bM-4jJTZsXXWfv_o-e60MKEP5J9EQcm1hJFk2GUSIqTMIcJ0HZfU784jv0BEcsithPvQJPU7jGV-nJy71xQar0/s1600/watercolour+collage+II+closeup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwYlresQI9fowLJaJ4XKstUiVDieKRVJp92G96O-rSKpnNBFLZE6589bM-4jJTZsXXWfv_o-e60MKEP5J9EQcm1hJFk2GUSIqTMIcJ0HZfU784jv0BEcsithPvQJPU7jGV-nJy71xQar0/s640/watercolour+collage+II+closeup.jpg" width="562" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">   ...and one with</span></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Cr_TzYFzIC0sCHv4RScdiDOjoAMzmCFvMazIXBuzMtVKbAMrqJbQJZKk4lDf_SVm2pNjf6EWcK1q26AGKtAop39_Drex4xrXdZVvwfTPBZ12BfOuEoCSnqon_7u-plO9tk-ALRT0mSU/s1600/watercolour+collage+II.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Cr_TzYFzIC0sCHv4RScdiDOjoAMzmCFvMazIXBuzMtVKbAMrqJbQJZKk4lDf_SVm2pNjf6EWcK1q26AGKtAop39_Drex4xrXdZVvwfTPBZ12BfOuEoCSnqon_7u-plO9tk-ALRT0mSU/s640/watercolour+collage+II.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">and here's painting #1</span></div><br /><br />Oh, and aren't these hippeastrums lovely?

New artwork...a prototype

I've just finished a prototype to add to my range of artwork, and would love to know what you think? I'm adding some more colourful and detailed works to the range, which I hope will appeal to a wider audience, not to mention letting me play around a little!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4iOFwrSDmpzePY5QA8fKIQYBheQwHtnYLtwad8DKvJFQ-5Z5WWjYXjbnuF0G_rxVD3KMzE6pxjjFqREWOwXckxnSVIpNY79c-cJoe9sb85bBWB0xK1Qsmq7wa33svV4217z6nlKczL3I/s1600/watercolour+collage+1copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4iOFwrSDmpzePY5QA8fKIQYBheQwHtnYLtwad8DKvJFQ-5Z5WWjYXjbnuF0G_rxVD3KMzE6pxjjFqREWOwXckxnSVIpNY79c-cJoe9sb85bBWB0xK1Qsmq7wa33svV4217z6nlKczL3I/s640/watercolour+collage+1copy.jpg" width="542" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> original watercolour and pattern galore</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6oe-vVsaOX9xaVhZT41XUyMP32fssti6O-jSSvbyaYnWEa-FrcIOTwu0IgjNgAQsIO6opRu1rNTUnwQI2vEeEtMzobyzJcoML7MW6vFelMadVBQKcDuUxYE3pN5h-gwSo24r8L4C1Ek0/s1600/watercolour+collage+2copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6oe-vVsaOX9xaVhZT41XUyMP32fssti6O-jSSvbyaYnWEa-FrcIOTwu0IgjNgAQsIO6opRu1rNTUnwQI2vEeEtMzobyzJcoML7MW6vFelMadVBQKcDuUxYE3pN5h-gwSo24r8L4C1Ek0/s400/watercolour+collage+2copy.jpg" width="313" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Btw, I will be adding some without the background detail too.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Thoughts?
