stress relief sketches








I paint anything with in reach.
usually quick on regular copy paper which's never a good idea with watercolor, but no problem if you ruin because you've zero expectations.
you can even be a slob when you choose.
painting for fun is soothing .

Spring's in the air!... watercolor

I'm finding this tree fascinating, it virtually changed dress overnight, donned a fresh brilliant coat of lime leaves.. I did a sketch of it, then painted it indoors.

Antique car.... Acrylic WIP


This reminds me of parents' day in school back in the day. A lot of cars you almost never see in everyday traffic.
I don't know what possessed me to do this in acrylics, probably my running low on oils.
This drying speed is driving me crazy; it's like running a race.

I don't think this is finished yet, a bit more color in the BG maybe? It would be easier to tell if it was an oil :(

cupOtea.... WIP.... Oil


I haven't posted for a while not really having painted much..
No wonder I'm so down, I need my painting medicine.
This in progress is from life. I've had the setting ready all week. Finally jumped back in with both feet. Did this in 2 relatively short sittings. Hoping to wrap it up in the next couple of days.
Will keep you posted.
