I have tried to get my cat to stick to the wall like this and it never works! What'd you use?

Beautiful work, Dawn!
I love your pallet choices, such great warm colors all work well to set a tropical mood.
And the subdued lighting tied in with great sunsets reminds me of lazy summer twilights with a warm breeze blowing.
Very nice ink work also... everything comes together perfect.
The tikis and the architecture go hand in hand.

Love the new stuff, it really is nice to see you around again.
I still say the Covarubias-style map is double-pure genious - I want one for my wall.

thanks so much for looking and commenting my TC pals., Im working towards a couple of goals with this series.
1. only doing watercolors for an entire yr.
2. making 100 paintings in a yr.
3 The Prize!!! end result would be a solo show, with lots of pieces sold.
so on my journey of putting in my 10,000 hrs heres some
watercolor sketches. these 2 are mostly about playing with this kind of paper, I think Im finally getting the hang of it. I like the loose fast sketchyness of these cant wait to see how they look on the better quality paper. good composaition , and they will make nice bits of the bigger paintings.
