Play Structure

This is the play structure that my kids play on at Del Mar Park.  They love this and have even gotten me to go down the big slide.  The whole structure is 3 stories tall.  It has 4 slides, a marble maze, benches, climbing wall, tunnel and probably more that I can't remember.

Well, its just a sketch but was fun to sit and draw, then fun to paint.  enjoy.

What's Your Color

I love the way watercolors look when they are applied loose and fast.  The good folks over at urban sketchers (urbansketchers.org) do a great job of it.  In many ways I would like to do what they do.  For the most part they take simple images and add a bit of color.  They don't necessarily try to recreate an image with photo realistic accuracy.  The opposite is true in fact.  They try to paint quickly and give the impression of what they are painting, and let the viewers mind fill in most of what it needs.

This is the first painting I have  completed, that I think resembles ones that you will find on their site.  Hope you enjoy it.  Thank you.
