rainy ride

In my last post, I added a picture of a painting I did on location. Here it is! If you look carefully, you'll see the little dog about to cross the street.

synchronized swimming



I bought some flowers today. Two big bouquets for $10... so I guess it's flower painting this week! Also, I had some fun painting on location. You can see that my portable watercolour palette was originally an eyeshadow case!

keep it simple

SOLD

My last painting was very complex, so today I decided to paint a friendly little still life.

hangin' out

SOLD
I had so much fun last time, that I went back to the same cafe and drew some more! This cafe has a cool glass garage door that lifts up and lets the breeze in. It's a little hard to tell from my picture... since it's mostly about the sketch, but it's a beautiful cafe.

make time

SOLD

I've been painting on hot-pressed paper lately. Due to the smooth texture the paint sits on top of the paper, unlike cold pressed which absorbs the paint slightly. As a result, I think the watercolour keeps it's colour and glows more. I also like the way the pencil glides across this paper. I think I'll stick with it!

12 Across "One _ at a Time"

SOLD

This older man sat quite still, in his summer attire, concentrating on his crossword puzzle. Just long enough for me to capture his wonderful character.
