I'm still behind and these are nothing special but at least I found time to participate this weekend. I thought retirement meant I was supposed to have more time, but....
This week's is acrylics on a piece of 6x8 matboard painted red first, about 1 1/2 hours.

(oops, I see I forgot to finish that little tree bottom left)
Last week's is o.p.s on some watercolor paper coated with a mixture of black gesso and clear gesso, around 6x6. It's obvious I rushed through it

.

Annie and Lin, thanks for hosting!
I haven't even looked at one of yours yet; will get to it after I go put lime pellets on the front lawn.

They are both lovely. I can't see where the tree is unfinished??? I know what you mean about retirement - I've been retired for 6 years now and have no idea where the days go! On the plus side, they say it's good mentally and physically to be busy!

I think the first one looks lovely and complete already.The tulip is also good.

Both are good. Time expands to fill a void they say. I think you do more of what you like to do when retired, and then feel guilty for neglecting things you used to do. I didn't paint when working full time, but still managed to get a lot of other things done which I put aside now. PC's take a lot of time and so does painting.
