The Old Wheel Barrel

The old wheel barrel sits in our side yard next to our neighbors' arbor vitae.  In certain light, it reminds me of an old country side in Europe.  I decided that the other houses from the development did not need to be included in this sketch.  Combined with the shed and the butterfly bush, I have now painting all of the most interesting elements of our yard.

This painting also marks the 12th and final sketch/painting in the pad I bought almost one year ago.  As I have mentioned before, I have never filled every page of a sketch book, pad or journal and therefore I challenged myself to do complete one in a year time.  I think I have 3 days to spare.  It is also the 29th painting of the year, making 2013 my most product of this blog. Very cool.

What was also fun about painting today was my niece joined me and she did two drawings of her own. I think she was excited about using the same watercolor pan set as me.
