Oh the colors of Spring. The Azaleas are popping out all over the place.
Today Rob and I went to Hilton Head National Golf Course. He to practice, me to paint. Time well spent by both of us :)
Hi Cris, Thank you! Yes this piece is in my sketchbook. Well, I say sketchbook but it's not been bound yet. I work on folded pages that are 5.5 x 7.5. I'm still testing paper. I think this was Fabriano HP. We were at the driving range for 2 hours, not all painting time, a lot of waiting for the wc layers to dry and watching Rob hit golf balls :) I did my lettering there, too.
I'm super pleased with this page. I think it's one of the best plein air wc sketches I've ever done. I see using it for note cards :)
Wonderful painting, beautiful design and colour. Most of all though I love your lettering. Hand lettering like that seems to be a dying art but really adds so much to the painting.
This is lovely. Love the colors in the foreground. Is this in your sketch book? How long did it take to do? What a fun way to support your Hubby. :)

Such a rich, wonderful woodland scene. You captured the light beautifully. Lovely color!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Peter! I'm with you. I love hand lettering and get as much joy from celebrating each letter as I do sketching :)
