RoseHip Garden

Two different views of the same scene.  Rosehip Red door is the back door, where I tried wet into wet painting on so so paper.  Not so good and required some doctoring up with gouache to make it even viewable.  Scene two; Rosehip porch entry with a bench outside. This time the paper is 140lb and took the paint in the most wonderful way.
So here you go:  For further comments, see my blog.... tomorrow!

Rosehip porch

I like this because of the shadow & red door.  Paper 8-(!

Late Summer Garden

A stunning day to sketch at the beautiful and bountiful Rosehip Farm outside Coupeville. 

Coupeville's Harvest Festival

Part of Rosehip Farm's Harvest Fest relay team.  Yes, those are real pumpkins on their heads.  Too funny!

All the farmers had the most wonderful produce, but I especially loved this colorful chard.
