    The last time I kept an open mind,
    my brain fell out and the dog grabbed it.
    Now it's full of dirt, toothmarks, and dog slobber.

    Good. Will be interesting to see how you divide up the segments in watercolor. I think the light touch that watercolor offers could be liberating in a different direction. This is a good springboard since you have a lot of it worked out and the next pass will perhaps be a little freer.

    I look forward to see the certainly marvellous outcome You and Your hummingbird will generate with so much and good practicing!

    Yes, I'm eagerly looking forward to your watercolour version of the hummingbird - this version is very nice.
    June.

    Oh God of homeless things, look down
    And try to ease the way
    Of all the little weary paws
    That walk the world
    today.

    Greetings Gms9810

    If I end up painting a hummingbird, it's because a humingbird happened to be hiding within my abstract painting

    I just wish I was as good as you at drawing and painting realistic subjects! Well done
    ...I also like your apple sketch (on real paper, inspired by what you learned with ArtRage).

    As little as they are they can hide anywhere.
