The first picture is a snapshot of the new Hospice House in this area. I decided to do a painting of the building and the next picture is the painting I did Plein air. Took me about 2 hours. The last one I did in the studio and I worked on it off and on for about four days . It is much easier to walk away from a painting in the studio and come back with a fresh look .

these lilies were laying on the driveway this morning so I decided to bring them in and see if I could do anything with my colored pencils. Sure didn't have the right colors but I don't think the drawing is too bad

Sorry about the two photos, still haven't learned to use the site coreectly. The sketch was made with watercolor pencil and touched up with watercolor

This is a photo of the cone flowewers
