Just Hanging Around

Just Hanging Around

This 21 X 14" watercolour is my tribute to the only housework I really enjoy doing - hanging the laundry outdoors. I love the way it smells. I like organizing it so the socks match, and the t-shirts look sharp - everything in order. It was the one job that Mom would trust to me - the youngest daughter - and I was VERY proud of doing it perfectly and VERY offended if one of my sisters got to do it.

24 X 18" Watercolour

In August, I taught a plein air workshop on Quadra Island in the northern Gulf Islands, BC and, during a dinner outing, was blessed with this glorious evening. The delicate glow behind the Ferry Dock against the blackness of the backlit ship and shoreline appealed to me greatly. I very rarely paint sunset or sunrise in watercolours because it is so darned difficult to pull off but, I must admit, I am pleased with the result.
