Review with Landscape Watercolor
Haven’t had much time to blog – I was working today (on a Sunday!) and helping my daughter with a school project (about Chana Szenesh), and all of a sudden, it was 5 pm. I started preparing dinner, and now that a few things are warming up I decided it would be a nice time to post the above landscape watercolor, one that is an exercise from One Watercolor a Day.
On My Blog
If you are observant of details of this blog, you may notice that I added a subscribe box with a teacup watercolor to the right sidebar. “Be My Guest” is the current motto. I plan to write a post about subscription boxes on my Websites for Small Biz blog.
Elsewhere in the Blogosphere
- Thank you to Naomi Firestone-Teeter of the Jewish Book Council for hosting the February Jewish Book Carnival and including my review of Rabbi Lau’s book.
- Visit Laura’s blog to see Angelina Ballerina Hamantaschen.

I look forward to the subscriptions box post as it is about time I pulled out my finger and started a newsletter and creating a list.
The watercolour is lovely, very relaxing.

Becc, ah, maybe this will be an incentive for me to finish my post about mailing lists. After I get more work done ...
Mrs. S. says
Lovely painting! I don't know if that was your intention, but the scene reminds me of the beautiful Judean Mountains around Jerusalem!
leoraw says
You have a great eye! I did it from a photograph of mine of the Galil: a view from Mount Meron.
Laura says
First of all, thanks for the link.
Lovely landscape--so that is the painting that you based on the photo on the bottom of your Mount Meron post! You are doing some lovely paintings through working through One Watercolor a Day. I also loved the fish and the butterfly.
leoraw says
Thank you and you are welcome!
I fear with Purim and Pesach coming, my watercolor painting projects may need to wait a while. But it is easy to get back into it (at least physically taking out paints and paper is easy).
Susan Cooper says
I so look forward to what you've created, Leora. I find it fun and interesting to see how you use colors an texture to achieve your images. To me, watercolor is much more challenging because it's far less forgiving. You do well with the medium.
leoraw says
Susan, I just keep doing it (watercolor). In part, it's because it takes less prep and less clean up than other media.
Jeri says
I haven't posted any photos lately online but I need to. The class at the rec center was only for five weeks. However, a Paint Like Ross class is being held. I kinda want to take it if hubby will to. What can I say, your blog inspires me.
leoraw says
"your blog inspires me" - ah, magic to my ears. Thank you so much, Jeri. We creative types need to support each other!
Lorri M. says
What a lovely painting! I like the dotted hills, with the varied colors that illuminate them.
leoraw says
I enjoy your detailed compliment - thank you.
Ramblingwoods says
Oh I like this...very relaxing unlike your week it sounds like
leoraw says
Well, if it helps to know, my week got better. I showed one client a version of his home page, he was happy, and I've been doing work for one of my favorite clients today.
But I couldn't find an ink pen, so I haven't been able to do the next watercolor exercise. I'm planning to borrow one from my friend Jill (my daughter's art teacher), then I'll buy one later.
Laura Hegfield says
Wonderful painting Leora!
Please leave a comment! I love to hear from you.
