Blue steps

There are days when I drive around scouting for something interesting to sketch and nothing catches my eye. Until I really slow down, or park, or park and sit awhile. Then I start to see interesting shapes or shadows or preferably both. The landscape is not very inspiring these days because the leaves are off the trees and there is no snow yet, resulting in a rather gray vista, but this week the light is crisp and bright, making for some great shadow shapes.

    nice composition Shari. The digonal shadow on the right is very effective in leading the eye back to the steps.

    How lovely. Thank you for finding this cheery and colourful scene to share in an otherwise very grey landscape. Lots more sunshine in the forecast! I’m motivated to get out and find some shadows to paint.

    You are incredible Shary! An absolutely charming watercolour with such character 🙂
    i love the shadows on the venetian blinds, what fun.
