Cathy's Birdhouse
I have painted this birdhouse several times and never get tired of it. I like the angles and the neutral colors in the worn wood.
This was a demo last Friday for the two-day bookbinding/journal workshop we did at Cathy's home studio. The weather was perfect - rain on the day we spent inside making the books and beautiful the next day when we took the books outside to paint all day. It was a fun and talented group - they made some beautiful books and painted some wonderful journal pages!
This afternoon I am off to a new Watercolor Sketchbook Journal Class - four consecutive afternoons. We meet on the porch of one of the old buildings in Bay View, and one time when we were standing there in a circle introducing ourselves, a bat fell from the rafters right into the middle of the circle. I always check for bats now. I know some artists would have used him as a drawing subject - not me.
