Rained out!

This is the fourth straight day of rain and high temps only in the 30s or 40s. Not that I'm NOT grateful for it and not that I would normally mind, BUT....I had a painting trip scheduled this past Saturday to the most INCREDIBLE place (for me, the painter in search of water) but I had to postpone, due to said rain. I'd been so looking forward to the colors and shapes and movement this place will afford me, mais non. So I hope to go sometime this week.

Cooped up indoors, I drew my husband and our dog. My husband read, our dog lolled. (Click on image for more detail.) My dear friend Kate Johnson posted a similar sketch of HER husband reading with an animal. Here's the link.

And then, to keep cabin fever at bay, and wanting to do SOMETHING fishy, I sketched some shells from Hawaii--just to remind myself that, somewhere, *sniff, sniff*, the sun is shining on the sea ;D.

Lovely fish! Watercolor is awesome, but really hard for me to control, so I barely ever use it. You have a good handle on it!

Thank you so very much for your comments! Terry, I empathize---it was a severe drought in our area last year that led me to my search for watery topics to paint. Robyn, that's the ONLY piece of furniture the dog is allowed on and it has a special cushion she has to lie on, to protect the sofa!

I love you art.

Lovely sketches while waiting for your magic spot on a magic day! I am burning up with curiosity!

The sketches are astounding. The pencil one caught my attention immediately because you captured the casual poses so well, both the man and the dog are so natural and immediate.

At least you get rain. We are facing serious water shortages for the warm months in northern California. Your sketches are loose and wonderful to view. Absolutely love your masthead.
