July is #WorldWatercolorMonth2022! To learn more about it, visit Doodlewash.com.

Did you know the Egyptians were traveling the Nile in sailboats made from reeds, as far back as 4000 BC?

You know the Bob Ross thing about dripping paint and "Let's make them birds. Yeah, they're birds now." I this case, I dripped paint and it would have been a mighty big bird. So I decided to make it a lighthouse. Yeah, it's a lighthouse now!

#DoodlewashJune2023 prompt: Ducks

Did you know two days before ducklings coordinate the time of their hatching by pipping — vocalizations that they can all hear?

This was frustrating because there was something on the paper, you can see the white streaks still left up top, and I kept trying to make it work anyway. Painted last month, I had intended to just toss it and then I saw the prompt and figured what the heck. It was meant to be shared.

#doodlewashJune2022 prompt: Lily. A stretch for the prompt, but lilies are poisonous to cats - most will lead to kidney failure if the cat so much as drinks the water they're in or nibbles on a leaf.

Did you know that June 4th is National 'Hug a Cat' day?

Did you know that most of the 50 or so distinctively patterned, half-timbered houses of Freudenberg were built in the 17th century after a great fire devastated the original buildings?

I blame Pixabay. I keep finding these gorgeous reference photos and feel I must paint them, even though I know they're a bit complex and grand for the size I'm painting this month. I definitely didn't catch the charm of Freudenberg Village, but I enjoyed the challenge of trying!

#WorldWatercolorMonth2023 prompt: Detour.

Peanut Butter and Jelly… fish? Did you know, in 2014, there was a study to see if peanut butter

was a feasible diet for jellyfish to replace dwindling natural resources? The experiment was successful but, of course, needed further research. What does this have to do with Detour? Uhm - I’d take detour if I encountered these guys while swimming? Or the jellyfish might take a detour to get to the peanut butter, because, well … peanut butter! Work with me here!
