on a rainy monday

Have I really never painted my own garden? I always mean to, but somehow the kit never comes out unless I’m working on something more formal down in the furnace workshop, or on the road somewhere. Thought I’d paint out my own window for a change.

Yesterday was a washout, so I posted up at the little desk in the kitchen and played around with my folding travel brushes from Rosemary & Co — this was all done with a squirrel mop and a filbert instead of my usual size 4 round.

Variegated hosta, spiderwort, wild violet, random turf grass, and creeping charlie. Just like this painting, it’s kind of a mess.

Moleskine and watercolor.
