    Still haven’t painted much but got a sketch in.  Hope to paint the red bell peppers as I love to paint red!

    In the coffee table sketchbook with Micron and Zig pens while watching a pastel class.  It’s about 8 x 10 inches.

    Love the cactus sketch, Jo, it appears to be so fresh and prickly :whistle:

    Here is the small porch scene and flag done over the weekend using White Nights paints, 5.5×8.5 watercolor.

    Kay the flag sketch is amazing.  I love the flag and looked at that photo and found it so complicated.  You absolutely nailed it!  Applause.

    Great work on the cactus, Jo!  It looks sharp and spiny, just as it should.  Great work!

    Kay, your painting has a beautiful, timeless sense of Americana to it.  I love the richness of your colors.  Well done!
