This is a crop from a photo posted in the last WDE, somewhere in Las Vegas, I was attracted to the blue building.

The second crop included the ship, which I turned into a pirate ship. I would love to live in this castle on the rock. also ink and watercolor

midwestern Gouache

this was first ink sketched, then painted with gouache, I am just learning how to manipulate this medium. After I was done I kind of lost some of the details so added a bit of ink back.

Waiting to Board

this is a scene from Wales provided by justjean from Wetcanvas, I loved the relaxing stance of the couple waiting for their boat, a nice portrayal of vacation time.

Cambodia Ruins

This ref was from Connie VanWinsson from this weeks drawing event on Wetcanvas, it was a snapshot her nephew took on a recent trip. I loved the  fabulous tree growing around the ruins, it was simply done with a pour and splash of  lemon yellow, cobalt blue and rose aquamarine, then after drying,  inked in the ruins.

The old and the new.

"These are the shoes my Grandfather played Basketball in in the early 1920s. The pink shoes were my Granddaughter's when she was smaller."  the reference was from surob from wetcanvas.
I love the story told by the basketball sneakers. This was painted with walnut ink, and inktense in rose and cobalt.
