I'm choosing from the photos I took in Vancouver Island and coming up with some small ones that may turn into a trip journal. These are both 1/8 sheet Arches coldpress #140. Neither are done yet - still need some darks and some shaping to finish them up.

The first is the gateway into the Japanese Garden at Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC.
The second is a bit of Susan's "Willow Cottage" with her lovely begonias blooming in the window boxes.
The Greater Cincinnati Watercolor Society will be having their monthly meeting tomorrow. Louis Austerman, a local artist, will be our guest artist/speaker and he'll lead the paint-along after the program. I'll have lots of photos to upload and then minutes to start on when I get home from the meeting so probably no painting tomorrow.
