This watercolor was my version of our Saturday group leader's prompt to paint "motion". I had cars in mind for my painting. So I drove to a nearby freeway overpass to get a nice photo of moving cars. But I was surprised to see this great bubbling fountain in a front yard where I parked. My thought for "motion" changed from the "macro" cars to the "micro" water in the fountain. I also got some landscaping ideas looking at this front yard.

I realized I didn't post this pen sketch from quite awhile back. It was one of our last paint-outs before having to stay at home. We met in Altadena to paint at a stable we've enjoyed on several previous visits. In 2015 we met at the stable for the first time, Altadena Ranch. It was always a relaxing paint-out day. But on this Saturday, they had something planned so we weren't allowed to paint there. No problem. The properties around the stable have a lot of possible views to try. I walked around a bit to see some of the horses visible from the main road. I settled on trying another colorful pen sketch where I had a bit of shade to sit in. It's been fun trying dry media like pens for a change.
