"Adobe Wall with Geraniums" by Kim Touysinhthiphonexay

On a painting trip to Taos NM, we stayed in picturesque casitas with interesting artifacts and beautiful geraniums arranged beside an adobe wall. This was a great little spot to
sketch and paint!
"Ghost Ranch sketch" by Kim Touysinhthiphonexay

This was a quick sketch and paint of the colorful cliffs at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu NM. Minutes later I did a full sheet painting (22X30) of the same view, using a picnic table as my
easel!

Durango to Silverton train by Jane Doak

"Duck totem" by Cathy Carpenter
5.5x8.5" Ballpoint pen and watercolor on cold-pressed paper
A duck landed in our backyard a few weeks ago. We live at least a mile away from the pond so it hasn't happened before, and I decided to sketch
him.
"African Violets" by Gail Smith
Sketchbook Pen & Ink, Watercolor Wash
Sketched my daughter's plant instead of watching Football.
"Lake Como Garden" by Kim Touysinhthiphonexay
5x7 Ink and Watercolor
On a painting trip to Bellagio Italy, we visited a beautiful botanic garden on the shore of Lake Como. At the very end of the garden, there was an interesting tower silhouetted
against the mountains that I wanted to sketch and paint. I looked over my shoulder and saw a tremendous black cloud and buckets of rain heading my way, so I took a photo, did a 5 minute sketch and
packed up, minutes before we were drenched with rain. I added the color later back at the hotel while enjoying a glass of Italian wine!
