Sails on the Lake

Spent the morning with Mikey and his watercolor class.  Resuscitated this scene from a black and white print that he had.  Lots of good pointers.

Lakefront Cottage

Been away on the east coast all summer. Did a lot of painting but not as much as in past years. Had fun with house guests and cooking for big groups. Our usual painting group is not interested in plein air painting; they come out and take photos and leave. The weekly shows in the park were well attended but few paintings sold.
In this painting I was inspired by Frank Webb after reading his book. I thought primarily about design. After starting it, I put it away for awhile and then finished it weeks later. It is totally out of my head.
