Watercolor Days

Many of the paintings show his children doing every day things -watering flowers, playing games, hiding under a table.

So this week I bought a big sheet of 300 pound watercolor paper and decided to try my hand at a watercolor of my daughters. Here is the first of what I hope might become a set (click for the larger better version):



By the way, I’m sorry for the lack of posts lately. It’s been a tremendously busy month!
