One to left, raking leaves was left home, much it done by fanbrush through the watercolor tray, then try to draw with it.

One to left, sold to Liz Oakes, on commission to match up to her poem Changes, so titled, changes per poem. This is one of three, that starts with leak in india ink into artel art bag, noted when I put bag on water color pad,, and lefthand moving mess about begins to look like what Liz poem had in mind, and then put same to two more sheets so not drip ink in living room, found ways to use suggestion, which last painting, Bar Talk, also result of this start by accident process.



This one is lot of water, outline in watercolor pencil, rather than my often used expresso black, india ink and crowquil, or silver point or silver ink. After a bit seemed like Waitress in distress, at barrista station in coffee house, rather than pouring just right glass of guinness, so title, Barrista in java war. This one of the rejects from Delicato Show.
