Hiding behind some bushes.....
.....enabled me to stand and paint without being disturbed. They weren't home but, being artists themselves, I didn't think they'd mind. I've had an urge lately to paint things architectural or, at least, with architectural elements.
You can tell it's a home of artists because they have a fish diving into their shrubbery. Look again....you can see it. It was actually one of the things I had to repaint several times to make it believable....if half a fish in your front yard can ever be believable.
This painting was from just the other day. The drawing is from about two weeks ago waiting to meet my friend Marsh for lunch. It is continually amazing to me how a blank sheet of paper and some ink scribbles can turn into a symbol for a recognizable scene.
If you haven't tried drawing with markers I recommend it. They are great for travel, amusing yourself, studying composition or waiting for someone to show up for lunch. A book on it is in a tab above....but just try it and maybe you'll get as hooked on it as I am.
Thanks for looking. I have more to post soon.
I love the square painting - beautiful colors and composition. I can tell it is recent, because the grass is yellow. And I always love your marker sketches.
