Starbucks, Sundance Square Ft. Worth

7x9.5 pen and ink scene with a Uniball Vision Elite pen on Ecosystem sketchbook, a plein air urban sketch done yesterday before noon in downtown Ft. Worth.  I spent about 45 minutes then had to get out of the hot sun; such a beautiful square with its fountains and cafes.

Belize Umbrellas

15x11 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Saunders paper, with Daniel Smith paints.  Using a marketplace photo from our trip to Belize several years ago, I painted this townscape rapidly using only bright colors at the center of interest.  The background was a wash of manganese blue except for the white of the paper showing.  I like the open market vendors selling their wares.

Umbrella Parade

6x6 watercolor and ink line wash with Daniel Smith paints and Pigma Micron 01 pen on Masters paper done this weekend.  Since rain is in our forecast next few days, I thought this outdoor cafe scene might bring it on earlier!
