Alameda Charm Watercolor 7" x 10" Stonehenge Aqua Hotpress paper |
These Alameda houses are the gifts that keep on giving, and the bougainvillea are blooming everywhere right now. This vine was actually sprawled all over a minivan parked next to the house, covering it with splendid blossoms. That made me smile as I took the reference photo.
The painting has mistakes, and though I'm tempted to cover parts of it with gouache so I can lighten up certain areas, I think I'll stick with what I've got. It's taped to the wall in front of my computer and the bright colors give me energy. Plus thinking of that van covered in red blossoms still makes me smile.
