i heart watercolor

my palette
i'm gearing up to do a series of smaller watercolors

i'm feeling the need 
to 
experiment 
and 
play!

in other news,
did you know i've been using this glass
for 15 years?!
 it holds my clean water
(the inside is kinda cleaner than the outside...)

i remember grabbing it from my parent's 
kitchen while at home visiting from college

thanks, mom and dad
