Poor Bedragled Geranium in Watercolor

What great weather we are having.  Out on the porch for the whole morning!!  I sketched on my porch footstool with watercolor in the large Strathmore Sketchbook.  It was good even though watercolor is not my forte.  I didn't use the pen and ink either, usually I do.  No pre-drawing. 


For Scavenger Hunt 157 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-157-apr-20-apr-28y.7933/

Number 4 seasonal decoration - the same old geranium

Baseball today is at 3p.m.  The Longhorns won Friday and Saturday in close games.  Nail biters!  Hope they win again today as they are playing the old rivals, Texas A&M Aggies.  Their fans tend to be a bit edgy I guess you could say.  Hook 'em Horns!

The geranium is looking much healthier this time. Glad it was nice enough to sit on the porch all morning. We had a few sunny, beautiful days and then some rain yesterday. It was needed so I won't complain.

I think this is lovely and I'm especially impressed that you didn't do any pre-drawing. Great work!!

Joan, this is about the best time of the year here. We had wind that knocked out the Loblolly pollen this year so have been able to use the porch. Thanks on the geranium, I'm not a good gardener.

John, thank you. Fun to see you around.
