Water colour work by Heather Smith Jones

My new book on Matisse


I have bought a few books online recently to add to my inspiration/reference library. One is about Matisse - I never tire of looking at his work and could pour over his collection for hours.
The other book is called Water Paper Paint by the artist Heather Smith Jones. It is full of lovely images of her work and some very inspiring 'do it your self projects'. I had a look at her lovely online shop (where you can take a peek at her amazing studio!) and beautiful blog too. Time to get my water colour paints out again.
