Today's coat is a lot different than yesterday's big yellow one! ; )

This is the first time one of my "In Conversation" paintings has the subjects standing. No one is sitting at cafes right now! #doh.

Another very splish-splash watercolour. There really is no medium like it.

The time-lapse film of this one is over on my Instagram page - https://www.instagram.com/noramacphailart/

More and more I realize how much adding people's hands helps with expression. In this piece, they kind of mirror each other. One of my pieces for my ongoing "In Conversation" series.

The thing that is interesting to me about painting two people talking is, capturing the body language. Just grabbing a 'talking pose' and a 'listening pose' is so intriguing to me.

My 'in conversation' series continues. This is number 20! I love the body language that can happen between two people listening only to each other. I managed to capture him 'thinking'.

This painting has two things that people do that I just love - wearing their glasses on their head and throwing a sweater over their shoulders like a tennis player. Both are so cute!

I've been away from my blog for awhile. But, being newly inspired to continue my 'In Conversation' watercolour series, of two people talking (no devices!), I'm happily back at it!

Well, here's my first contribution to the #30x30DirectWatercolor2018 Challenge set my Marc Taro Holmes. 30 paintings for the month of June. I thought this sweet couple that I drew at an outdoor cafe would be a nice place to start. 

We'll see how I do with this very challenging challenge.

This time I tried to capture a quiet moment in the conversation. I've enjoyed this little series of two people talking. Tomorrow, onto something new...!

I really enjoyed capturing this moment of conversation, as well as the body language, between these two.
