March 7, 2008, Rainy Day by Starbucks

9x12, pastel and watercolor on wallis $100. plus ship and tax
I have always loved those rainy and snowy cityscapes of Childe Hassam. So today was the perfect day to challenge myself with the next cityscape, in a rain. This is Wheaton Plaza, right by Starbucks. Let it rain on so I can try more!

March 6, 2008, Out of my Element

approx. 4x6, pastel and watercolor on board
So what could be more out of my element than city structures? Two things I avoid. But if I really do say beauty is everywhere and it is just how you look. What could be a bigger challenge than to try to find it. So this morning I treked out to the Wheaton metro bridge and tried to find beauty.
