These are larger than most of the watercolours I do, and although part of the Roots & Wings series, they are stand-alones within it.
I rarely paint with anything or anyone in my conscious mind. This is the exception. Once past the initial washes, I had in mind my sister, Shannon, and my daughter, Nikki, who both asked for a painting for Christmas. It is, I think, a morph of my older and newer styles. And only a little late.

“Out of the Blue”. For Nikki. This one was painted some time ago but I had never felt it was done, and tweaked it slightly (very slightly) a couple of weeks ago. Not the first bear to show up in my paintings…
