I needed something simple to get my piece for day #7 finished this evening. I looked through my saved pictures and found the photo for this painting. It is one that I had saved from pictures posted by David Richman, a member of Watercolor Workshop. He has been posting such interesting pictures of the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. I loved this picture when I first saw it and thought it would make a nice painting. Once again, I drew this directly by looking at the picture on my laptop computer because I am still unable to get to my studio in the basement to print off a photo to work from. My printer is in the basement studio and my back will still not let me do the stairs. This painting is a watercolor/watercolor pencil composition. I did the watercolor first and then finished it with strokes of watercolor pencil - sort of the frosting on the cake. This is small - 4" x 6" and is painted on 140 lb. cold-pressed watercolor paper. It will eventually be sent to another member of the SWAP group this year in the postcard swap.

Thanks, Rhonda...I guess we'll have to ask David if it was hot! I'm sure it was!
