As I am still awaiting a green light to publish my fourth book in the River Friend Series: “INTERPRET: What Do Plants Tell Us?” I decided to start Book 5: “REED—ON THE EDGE”. I am doing a final edit on the text and deciding what illustrations should be in. I am thinking about Bearded Reedlings (Tits) and Reed-thatched cottage, reedbed, etc. I will post some of the pictures when they are done.
But sitting at a computer can be very tiring, so in between computer work I am getting back to this water colour painting which I started in 2015, when I painted the drawing onto 12″ x 16″ fine art 100% cotton rag paper (Aquarelle Arches). It lay dormant until I got it out in early May 2020. Here are some progress photographs since I started painting it in May. I hope you enjoy the story so far! Hours of toil: 54 and counting…
