i am fascinated by the Lucky Dog carts, and I want to paint hundreds of pictures of them. I don't know why. anyway, did this out in Jackson Square in the French quarter...getting a feel for the watercolors.... i've got a couple ideas for some mixed media pieces with the Lucky Dog cart!

This one got kind of muddy and overworked, but what the hey...it's my sketchbook afterall, and if you can't overwork something in there, where can you? LOL

here's the full page.. i like this sketchbook i'm working in for this one... it's a keeper! the pages hardly buckle at all, and blieve me, i'm not one to use the water sparingly!!! plus i like the long landscape spreads....

i like this one.... it's my 1st landscape with watercolors, i think, but i do still like it... i can't wait to learn more and try more techniques to get it even better!

trying to get out and sketch around town when i can. This is one of the members of a very cool blues band that plays at Gazebo Cafe over in the French Quarter. Sketching the band made for a nice lunch...
My new Holbein watercolors in blues and browns worked perfectly for this sketch!
