635 High Tea Underpainting

This is the start of the underpainting of High Tea, a scene from the Empress Tea Room. I still want to adjust some to the shapes and values especially on the right hand side of the painting. I have a good feeling about this painting and look forward to working on it some more.

616 Beach Near Mile Zero, Dallas Road Scene

This is the rocky beach near Mile 0. You can get to it by a very long staircase. It was a funny day starting with thick fog that lasted till after lunch. Then it was warm and sunny. Then a cold front set in and brought spitting rain with it.  It was a beautiful day.
