"View from The Garret"
6x10 watercolor
I began this sketch the day I checked into my garret. It was an overcast day so there isn't much contrast.
This week I'm in Atlantic City on the 31st floor of the Flagship Hotel. Love the sound of the ocean and the wind. Don and I have been keeping the sliding doors ajar all night so we can enjoy it.
"Morning Glories"
6x12 watercolor
My second painting in Leslie Saeta's 30 in 30 challenge is this tower of morning glories which I grow on trellises inside ceramic pots on my deck. The 'heavenly blue' shade of these flowers is almost impossible to paint, but I tried. I so love sitting on my deck painting these gorgeous flowers! This has been a perfect summer and I hope this is a trend in the weather.
Ever be working in the kitchen and have to stop and photograph the food? I've had this photo of snow peas for a while and I was needing a challenge so I threw caution to the wind today and painted it without a drawing. This is a 10"x10" painting on 300lb Arches paper.Here are the stages of the painting.
