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.
There's nothing like document a trip via sketches and paintings - it's the best way to remember them, and I'm sure when you look at these years from now, you'll relive the god memories. I should do more of these while traveling.
ReplyDeleteI love your small paintings especially the window box. It just looks so cheerful.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying them, Nava, but I'm doing them now because I didn't do them while travelling - seems travelling got in the way! ha ha
ReplyDeleteVicki, the window box is my fave, too :) Glad you like them.
Hi Rhonda! Very nice!!! These are going to make a wonderful journal. I've really enjoyed seeing the photos of your trip. Thanks for posting them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb, I'm so glad you are enjoying them - I think you should try the Japanese gate and garden one - do you know what it's called?
