I spent the afternoon painting Chalmers Street. In 1712, the Pink House served as a sailor's tavern. It's done with watercolors and markers.Earlier today, on Diane's beautiful blog, I found a "blog hop" that's going on, and spent quite some time checking out all the incredible blogs out there. If you are interested in participating, look at the right side of my blog for details.
Sunday's almost over, and the muted sound of lawnmowers sadly humming can be heard in the distance...
How cool the blog hop idea is! I've added my link and put it on my blog as well :o)
ReplyDeleteYou are working those watercolors fabulously (I'm still too chicken) the tiles on the Pink House rooftop are supah!
Chasing that fabulous sun again!! :))) I agree with Andrea, the tiles/shingles are WONDERFUL! They look 3D!! Your work is simply lovely, Susan!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the end of the weekend coming way too soon. Though out in the middle of wheat and hay fields one does not hear the sounds of mowers, but rather the sound of tractors cutting grass. There is still a cyclical rhythm to summon the end of Sunday ... no matter where you live!
Beautiful! I really love this.
ReplyDeleteLove your colours on your Chalmers Street painting, it's so alive and vibrant and I can see in my mind's eye some sailors, staggering out of the door and off down the street, singing sea shanties as they go, lol ...
