Old Phones Desktop

9x12 watercolor office still life painted today from my ink sketch yesterday.  I used Daler Rowney Langton Prestige 140 lb cold press paper with Daniel Smith paints.  Since there is minimal color here, I call these mostly neutral works 'value paintings'.  These old rotary dial phones are still in use as is the office No. 2 lead pencil and notepad on the proverbial desktop.  Remember how their cords became twisted and were never long enough?

Woven Flowers of Passion

15x22 work is actually two identically painted scenes of pink roses in front of a house. The original was ho-hum boring so a few years late...
