634 Plum Blossoms

The streets are lined with blossoming trees. I picked up these little plum blossoms on my way to the Empress this morning. I don't know about the purple block but I like the green pattern on the back cloth. I also like the way the blossoms turned out.

I found these at my favourite consignment store last year and have been hesitating to paint them. I don't have a steady hand even with a mahl stick.  Well, finally I applied myself to the task. They are a cute couple.

620 Simply Salt

How could I paint the pepper mill without painting the salt shaker. Tomorrow I'll be doing a painting demo at Glenlyon Norfolk School from 1 to 4 at the Victoria Sketch Club Show. In case anyone wants to come visit. I will bring my set up. It's quite portable. I don't know what I'll bring to paint. Maybe a jar of dandelions. Hmmmm.

My set up, beginning and finished.
