I was at my gallery today (well it is after midnight, so I guess it was yesterday.) and it was pretty slow downtown. I thought there would be more people out, but I did get some art done, so that was good. I started to sketch a poinsettia and it turned out to be a watercolor and I like it. I don't do many watercolors. I took photos and brought it home. Tonight I added some ink and like it better, probably because I like bright colors.

I also took a couple of plein air paintings that I did in New Mexico two years ago. I had painted on both sides of watercolor paper with acrylics. They were practice and not good for framing. I cut them in strips, added eyelets and ribbon and they are now bookmarks.

I also thought I would throw in a snap of the coffee pot from Columbia. They are unusual for us.

Great watercolor, Mom!
That is a great watercolor. I have painted poinsettias for Christmas cards. I think yours is much better than mine. Maybe I need to try the ink.
That is a heck of a coffee pot!
Nice job on the poinsettia. Even nicer job on those clever bookmarks Jo - very clever!
Excellent watercolors - they turned out very good! Watercolors can be very unforgiving..
Very nice job on the poinsetta! I like your idea for the bookmarks!
