Another Garden Gnome

Although I managed to accomplish something today in my journal, I'm not real excited about the results.  One of those times when maybe I should have stopped before I did.  Might be I just don't care for the background........not sure.  But upon completion I didn't feel real happy with it.  Maybe in a few days I might be able to view through different eyes.

Started out on a promising note.  First with pencil and then went over with pen and ink using the Pilot Prera and Lexington Gray ink.

W&N watercolors were used this time:  Fr Ultra, Raw and Bt Sienna, Bt Umber, Neutral Tint, Scarlet Red with Aliz Crimson and Sap Green.

This gnome is just too cute... It reminds me of our garden's gnome that we have by the pond... I sure could not paint anything like this, but wish I could. I will take a photo of it thou :-)

I very much like the gnome! Maybe you can cut him out and give him a new background to be in front of? :))))

I appreciate your kindness, Melody.......thank you. And if not for being a part of my journal.......cutting out and setting to a different background sounds like a neat idea.
