Saskatoon Berries

This one was finished late last night... been struggling with the greens in the leaves and the white of the flower. Greens are causing me some problems, especially lots of greens and having some distinction between the various elements that are green. Oh well, one does not learn until they keep on practicing.

Mid-Morning Snack

I have to admit... I'm not quite done my parents house painting... I'm almost done, but not quite. So, in the mean time I present a new little watercolour that I have been working on off and on during the day. Lots of greens, including my new Daniel Smith Viridian that I picked up this past weekend.

Oh So Very Close...

I am soo close to finishing this painting... just a couple more painting sessions for the details and the front step. This painting has sure been a roller coaster of "I hate it" and "Cool!", but in the end stages here... I have to say that I do like this one. In the next few days I'll post the completed painting.

River Delta

We finally got a beautiful weekend last week and I took the opportunity to go to the delta (its not too far from Langley, British Columbia) and check out the berry farms. Oh my goodness are the strawberries nummy this year. The blueberries start in a couple of weeks too. I meant to photograph the juicy ripe berries... but I have to admit that they didn't last long. Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to head out there and get some more!
