Quail in Cactus Patch

22x30 watercolor using Daniel Smith paints done week before last, on Daler Rowney Langston Prestige paper 140 lb CP. This was a commission ordered on the last day of our Alto Artist Tour on August 9th. A new customer wanted a scene with quail. Having no personal photos Free Reference Photos for Artists page on Facebook was very generous. Thanks to Anita Jones Bozich! Cactus photos were taken here in Big Spring om 6th street. An enjoyable landscape with quail was exciting to paint. Last week I took the painting to Ruidoso, NM, where new customer approved it. Currently, I am matting and framing it for her.
