Red Laundry Basket

7.5x5 watercolor on Moleskine done today of such a mundane subject, the laundry.  Everybody's got it.  Mine keeps getting piled higher and higher waiting on the weekend.  Here you can see pink socks, bright shirts, and of course, blue jeans which are always at the bottom.  Painting the clothes was easy but the basket's holes were not.

It's only fair that the basket holes were harder to paint: they are the best part! I love this.

Your laundry painting caught my eye. First time on your site and I'm fascinated by the ordinary subjects you use. Thanks so much for sharing!
