Dee Farnsworth ✰✰✰✰✰

I was looking through, out of pure boredom, some of the other blogs and came across a few really interesting ones. The most of which is a blog dedicated solely to this womens amazing artwork. Her name is Dee Farnsworth. I have the link on the title, so check it out really. I tried to follow her blog but being the newb I am I couldn't for the life of me figure it out. My loss I suppose. But really, she is great and her paintings are mostly watercolor, but she does a lot of other things as well, and honestly she has some of the best works I have seen in a while as far as depth of color and depth of space of go.


This particular piece is actually listed with her weather sketchbook, and these are all really creative, and extremely well done! I think what I like most about these peices is the addition of the [probably glue sticked on] newspaper clipping, particularlly on this one. The little clip out of the condtions it describes and then a small corner add, I think it really says something about the peice and how the artist was feeling when she created it.


This one is my personal favorite of the weather sketchbook. It is so so silent and so well organized that I can not stop thinking about it. I actually, just now was thinking maybe I can make this my book.
You see, for the last few weeks I have been trying to think of a star spangled perfect idea [which in my experiences are impossible to put to paper to begin with] for my new book [ because I am a writer, and just for the record I go by a pen name which I chose not to share ;)]and I just, I wrote idea after idea and none of them lead anywhere. So I think this, this little watercolor sketch might have been just the inspiration I needed.

Perhaps while flipping through blog after I wasn't wasting time after all.
