Above is a new watercolor I painted earlier this afternoon. It was inspired by an European tray with little, adorable beach houses on it - a precious gift I keep at my bedside next to my father's photo.
I wanted to create something a bit different than what I normally do and am more than happy with the results of this watercolor. Now, I just need to find the proper matting and place it in my shop. :)
Now, let me venture off to see what everyone else has been up to this past week. Happy SS!
