Back at Ward Ranch



It was just recently I painted at the E. Waldo Ward Ranch in Sierra Madre and posted the watercolor in E. Waldo Ward Ranch.  A few weeks later I was at another paint-out there with another group.  The ranch and jelly factory property is a nice place to paint.  We had a big turn-out of painters since many like to shop in the small Waldo Ward store for holiday cooking and gifts.  A visit is always interesting and there are always fun areas to discover.  Rusty old farming and canning equipment seems to be everywhere, in a charming way.  I chose a view that had some sun on a yellow building with the red barn loft peeking over its roof.  While we painted we could smell strawberries.  They were making some strawberry jam!

The yellow building in my painting is a garage for this!

    1. Thanks Liz, might not be quite as purple in person. Can't seem to get the proper look online. Wonderful jam...

  3. Nice work, Sherry! Put your finger over the figure and you'd really miss his presence - I always enjoy the addition and your beautiful purple shadows.
