Top of Mill Street This is the view from the front of the CoOp. This time I painted with light washes of watercolour first and then got into the detail. Gosh, the cars were difficult to paint!

Next time, I think draw the basic shapes in pencil first, develop the painting with light washes and then ... enjoy the detail. This should allow me to keep better control of the pictures focus.

Snow Coffee This one was done with crayon and watercolour paint whilst suffering from cabin fever due to the recent snow.
