Art being worked on now

well I have been working on my 2011 collection, of paintings recently , today I was working on one, the work is extensive , all the pieces will be in a theme, I love doing work related to themes the theme that I have chosen ,I will not share right now , neither will I be sharing any of the work that is images on my website here, facebook or anywhere else , this is just how I am when it comes to works,,, for an exhibition. This year I have the exhibition carded for November ,last week in that month to be carried over to December . The exhibition will be a shared one with two other artist ,in completely different styles , so it will be very interesting to view all the work , by all three of us .
When I am working on a body of work I am into it mind and soul , I research pieces working from photos , as well as from actual drawings ,,,that I will make of each piece , I am very disciplined with doing the work I need to have completed , will most likely exhibit around 20 pieces or more , unlike the last exhibition not one piece is small.... all are beautiful sizes , and will make a grand display in offices to homes .
Working in watercolour only for this exhibition , no other medium , this is my favoured medium , and I work well in it and I have had excellent reviews, from galleries abroad as well as art collectors abroad concerning my methods .
The watercolours I am doing right now , take many hours of work, but to say that I dont enjoy this will be a lie .having been asked if I work in the night.... the answer is indeed no ..as the colours are different remember folks,,,, I see with one eye, I paint without my glasses as well .
The shadows etc I do for each piece is not done in black... but in the line of indigo colours .
Do I draw out everything ? no I cant , at least not with a pencil ...I have been taught to paint with the brush straight onto the paper hence the work is all drawn with my brush .... always remember that watercolours are the most difficult medium of all .....mistakes.... cannot be made as the piece will be ruined , well I hope to post my thoughts ,feelings, etc on my blog about my art as I do the pieces ..... Can anyone guess the theme I am doing ?
