Eamonn's Room

A month ago Eamonn stayed home sick from preschool. We spent some time drawing in his bedroom. Then recently I picked up the drawing and started painting it over the period of about a week, whenever I had a minute here or there. He was inspired to draw and paint the rug while I worked on mine and also added himself lying in the bed. He used a little set of watercolors I recently got him.

Back Porch Papasan

This is an ink line drawing in a sketch book that I filled in with watercolor. The papasan chair is on my back porch. Even in 100 degree Austin weather, looking at or sitting in the big blue pillow makes me feel cool.

This is a painting done en plein air, meaning I actually sat on the back porch, braving mosquitos to sketch and paint it. Now that I have the basic shapes, I might paint it again on watercolor paper with a smaller floor and maybe a striped rug.
