Something that I’ve never drawn before is my knitting 🧶 When I am not painting, sketching or chasing my cats down the hallway, I knit. 😌 Used Lamy pens violet and bronze color on Strathmore mixed media paper 5.5x8.5”

Apple and Pears, No Bears, O my

A 11"x7" watercolor on 300lb cp paper.  Reference photo is from Paint my photos.  I used transparent watercolor with watercolor crayons.  First time I used the crayons, they give interesting textures, but are opaque.  I find them useful for highlighting, if I accidentally paint over my highlights.

A Study of Cherries

I did this from my imagination.  I've never painted cherries and it has been awhile since I painted a still life. My colors were Holbeins peacock blue and indian yellow with rose madder.  I charged the shadows with a dark mauve and burnt sienna.  Cherries always remind me of the spring when I picked them as a teenager for a local farmer.  He would hire the neighborhood kids to finish off the pickings after the pickers left.  We made $7.50 a lug and of course, I ate most of the profit, they were bing cherries, yum.  What an overkill,  you will not see me eating cherries today.....lol
