Wash Day on Yupo

15x11 watercolor on synthetic paper Yupo of a country house with the laundry wash on the clothesline, an imaginary scene that says all is quiet out in the rural area.  I placed a large tree to the left and other foliage behind the white farm house with a lush green grass lawn in the foreground.

Hang to Dry

6x9 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done over the weekend, similar to another backyard laundry scene I painted years ago.  Several wash items of clothing were changed in this version.  Many people have contacted me wanting prints of that one and Artspan was unable to get a large enough size, hence the updated version.  Everyone remembers the smell of fresh clothes drying on the clothesline.

Clothesline

15x19.5 watercolor on Arches 140 lb cold press paper painted wet in wet from a photograph I took here in town.  This was next door to my framer and they had just put their laundry out to dry on a hot day.  I used a 1" flat brush and Daniel Smith paints.

Laundry Day

9x6 watercolor drawn yesterday then painted today in between bouts of flooding rain.  So this sunny subject in Nassau was perfect.  It was a WetCanvas weekend drawing event hosted by Li Newton who lives off and on there on the island.  Support used is Canson 140 lb cold press paper/Daniel Smith paints.

Hanging Out to Dry

"Hanging Out to Dry" 5 3/4 x 8 1/2 inches, Winsor Newton paint, Saunders Waterford 300 lb cold press paper. This little mini was done in my hotel room while on a 3 day trip. I used my WN travel kit, #8 round, and the very tiny brush w/ the kit. We had clotheslines/poles just like this when I grew up and all smelled so fresh. Several articles of clothing were drawn from life or imaginary.  This work is SOLD.
