One more Venetian Mask for our actual theme at Jean Haines's Online Artschool. www.watercolourinspiration.com. Oh yes, painting Carnival Masks is very, really very addictive! Being amongst this incredible festival was a lifelong dream and now I feel like I am there with all these beautiful costumes, colors, glitter, and gold around me.

It's February and so it's Carnival time. I love our actual theme Jean Haines's Online Artschool  www.watercolourinspiration.com where we are painting Carnival masks. The Venetian masks are my favorites and painting them creates a wonderfully festive feeling at my studio, all these gorgeous colors and golden glitter around me.

Connecting subjects in our watercolor paintings is an exercise at Jean Haines's Online Art School. I love these special horses very much, some are living near to us in Lower Saxony, and I have visited Iceland years ago and enjoyed watching and photographing them in their natural surrounding.

Deep sleeps the Winter,
Cold, wet, and grey;
Surely all the world is dead;
Spring is far away.
Wait! the world shall waken;
It is not dead, for lo,
The Fair Maids of February
Stand in the snow!

Cicely Mary Barker ‘The Snowdrop Fairy’ (1895-1973) – English Illustrator and Author

 February's first painting is a little flower study again, inspired by the "Simple Things" section at Jean Haines Online Art School. www.watercolourinspiration.com
