Observations and thoughts about the fine art of painting

Two water colors just completed
A little Americana . . . outdoors and indoors. The coffee/donut combo represents a lot of fat and calories but we sagacious Americans, counteract this sad state of affairs with a sugar substitute!
Very nice both inside and out--though I prefer inside with a doughnut till it gets a bit warmer around here. Pastries are one of my favorite subjects. The doughnut wins.
Arti, I glad you like my barn. I will be doing this scene again in a class I teach tomorrow, and I am also painting another study of the coffee/donut still life. I'll soon post those two for comparison to the previous two. I love seeing the variations in studies, and I wouldn't mind getting your take on them! Is that wonderful Indian holiday where everyone gets covered in colored powder coming up soon? I like that holiday!
Beautiful paintings! I love that you refer to them as "Outside and Inside!" I imagine you were enjoying the coffee and donut and proceeded doing a watercolor sketch of them! Multitasking!
