Iris#8

This is another watercolor ATC done for Wetcanvas art exchange project, '25' of ?, which I do a series of irises. The Ref. image is from Flickr. I apologize for not remembering the photographer's name.

The Tuner

This is about 6x8 inch sketch, done with pencil and watercolor pencils during 30 minutes that the 'piano-tuner' was working with our piano today. When he finished his job he got to see it and smiled.

Life Drawing

Here is my Daily Painting today, about 6x8 inch watercolor life-drawing of my DH who was still in bed for Sat. morning. He changed the first pose in 30 seconds. So I have to wait a bit to do his second pose, which he stayed in this position for several minutes. I have fun doing this when I was fresh springing up from bed early with high art energy.

Cheers

Floating market

This is a 4x5 inch watercolor (KOI travel set) plein air done while I was sitting in a cafe along side the Damneonsaduak canal in Rachaburi province. This floating market is the first tourist attraction floating market renowned for more than 50 years. This is the first time in my life that I visit this place !!!





Tone, Iris, our nanny and I left Bangkok early this morning heading south 50 miles from Bangkok. All of us never seen the real floating market before, so this is truly remarkable. The energy is so unbelievable. Once we arrived we rent one hour taxi boat to go thru the market and we stopped for fifteen minutes at the coconut sugar house, where they show us how to convert coconut's sap into coconut sugar. Then we drove 8 more miles to the Nativity of Our Lady Cathedral and I did another quick plein air sketch. It is unbelievable that in this orchard land away from Bangkok, 120 years ago there were priests from China who received funding from Paris and Rome, and built this majestic cathedral along the river here. We were in awe when we see the inside.

Iris#6
