Sketchbook Tuesday - Trees

Busy days lately. I still haven't established a workable routine for myself since we started back full time with our homeschooling schedule a few weeks ago. I suppose I was spoiled with summer's lack of structure. Now that we are back at the books my days just slip away. When I realized how long it had been since I had scribbled anything in my sketchbook (or work on any other art), I stole a few moments last Saturday to sit in the sunshine on the deck and play with watercolor.

    This has a real spontaneous feel to it, looks very fresh - just what watercolour does best but it can be hard not to overwork a piece - well at least for me! :-) A routine will come, might just take a bit longer. In the meantime, keep those watercolours handy.

    Those few moments were well spent! Bright cheerful and wonderful use of color!

    As with all of your sketchbook pieces, I just see such beauty and serenity, Ann. The verse on this page just resonates with me. And I have to agree...

    I wish I had a deck that looked outon something so pretty! Great work, Ann.

    I don't know which impresses me more - how adept you are at using loose marks that still form a coherent whole, or how nice your handwriting is.

    Are those fall colors already?! Lucky you! It is my favorite time of year. Love the colors!

    wonderful colors. I know it's fall, but somehow it reminds me of spring.

    It's a lovely painting with really cheerful colours. Well done for snatching those few minutes to do it - so important.

    Love the coloration of this! This is somewhat inspiring to me... I want to believe that the first object I drew was a tree, perhaps I should do that more often
