Every year I create a calendar so I have to do a dozen watercolors. Painting is a cherished hobby, but---can you relate?---I need a deadline to do it. In August, I hadn't picked up a brush for nearly a year and had lots to relearn. The first few were awful. At least I think so. Uncertain and dissatisfied, I did 16.
My Question for you
So, which three or four are worthy to be up for a month, and which three or four, eh, not so much? Share your candid opinions below. If you're a newsletter subscriber, your comment makes you eligible to win a calendar. I'll give away five (retail $20/ea.). Go to the green bar on my Home Page to subscribe. On Oct. 1, I'll announce the winners (selected randomly) here on this page. I'll also upload "your" top 12 to Zazzle.
If you want to buy a calendar...
I'll post the link here, so do check back. Btw, I don't sell calendars myself---Zazzle does, and we "artists" get a 10% royalty. Clearly, I don't do it for the money! But they do have sales, and historically Zazzle discounts calendars 60% on Black Friday.
Btw, I'll bring a dozen or so to a Master Gardener Seminar I'm doing in Orange County, Sat., Dec. 14 (details to come). Come and get one for yourself or a friend, and I'll even sign "Happy Birthday" on the date. ;+)
OK! Pick your faves:
