I took the old 2011 backyard watercolor:

And trimmed it. Now I like it a bit better.

Here's a rendition of a scene in England. Perspective isn't right. Will try again.

I'm taking Intermediate Watercolor from Jo Myers-Walker. Here are a couple of pages I've drawn in my journal:

This is a repeat of part of a 2011 painting:

These 2 paintings are from a photo I found on Pinterest:

This is the photo:

 This is a boring little composition. Adding figures didn't help:

This is from an old newpaper photo. I'm not sure I'm through with it.

 

This was a good year for pretty autumn leaves. This is from the photo below taken looking east on Bloomington St. in Goosetown.

I'm working on another one that's just the right hand side of this photo, but it isn't finished. I'm thinking about a second brick building on the left and further back to balance the burnt sienna of the one on the right.

My last two along with the my photos I worked from.

Two from last week:

The first is from a picture in the Press-Citizen. The second is someone's backyard in Gold Hil;, CO:

 I took the picture because of the poppies, but decided not to include them. I just thought the composition was interesting.

Here's a before and after tale. The first picture I did a couple of years ago, but never liked it much. Then the same picture I trimmed and I like it better.

I've been interested in alleys in my neighborhood and have taken some photos. This is the first painting I've done from them:

And here's the photo:

These first two are my most recent. I took them to my arts support group and they said not to do anything more to either. I'm not sure I concur, but we'll see. The first has no paint in the bottom left corner, although the sidewalks are drawn in. It reminds me of Stan Fellows' style.

 This one I have struggled with the bush. Also the stepping stones seem to be on a hill. See the photos below.
