Saturday Paint Out

Last Saturday, 6 other painters and I gathered in the little town of Maypearl, Texas.
Home Town Pizza
9" x 12" (22.9cm x 30.5cm)
Watercolor on Arches mounted on Masonite board
 
The painting above depicts a combination of "new & old"...new business in an old building...typical of a small town. Home Town Pizza is a favorite hang out for pizza lovers. In the background is the town water tower.

Everybody finished their morning paintings about noon so we had a "show & tell" then took a break for lunch. In the afternoon, even though it was almost 100 degrees, we all found shade trees and produced another painting. I found a lovely blue cottage with a ramblin' rose climbing up the front window. Perfect color combination; red, white & blue!

As we all packed up for the day....covered with a layer of dirt, a little more tanned, & tired...it was agreed we'd return to Maypearl soon; there are still a lot of places & people to paint!
