We had a beautiful morning for our paint-out at Alhambra Park. It's an old park that I've driven by for many years. One thing that has always caught my eye is the swimming pool which can be seen while driving past. The park is hilly and the pool is on top of a hill. It usually looks lovely and blue, but sometimes it's empty. I had decided to try painting the pool before I arrived at the park and fortunately it was filled. It wasn't until after I had finished my painting and walked over to where my friends were still finishing up that I saw a street vendor. The man was circling the park with his push cart, selling ice creams and paletas. The paleta man would have been a nice addition to my watercolor. Next time!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Celia!
DeleteYour painted scenes are such a delight to see Sherry, I too love your well chosen little additions of colour that brings your locations to life
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorraine! I really appreciate your faithful comments.
DeleteI like how this one turned out - the subject, the viewpoint, the composition, everything. But ugh; I look so slouchy when I paint.
ReplyDeleteHa...only possibly "slouchy" because you're tall, and your easel isn't! Took me awhile to add the fence in...
DeleteGosh, I can imagine that trying to paint swimming pool water is hard - you made it look so natural. Beautiful colors in this one, Sherry. And, as always, the LIGHT.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Terry, I really appreciate your comments.
DeleteJust catching up Sherry. All really fab as always. Love the new richer coloured approach too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Laura! Comments from you are special since you got me started with blogging!
