IRON and SORTS

Some posts start with drawing one leaf, then adding a branch, and before you know it, it’s a full grown oak. This post is like one of those:)

I love Iron gates! This small gate above, with the overgrowing flowers (I believe in Balboa park, San Diego) was perfect for a little watercolor in my sketchbook, field palette, and foldable water bucket

I carry them in my purse. If my wallet was not so bulky, there would still place for that too:)

an extremely handy field palette from Cotman of Winsor Newton, 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch

A gate to Tiananmen Square in Beijing is one of the  X-number of things to see there.

Iron pranks:) He did it in a minute while I was looking at  iron frames. When I got wind of what he was doing, I asked him to do it again, because he and our son never failed to pass this store without making sure they hadn’t lost their touch:)

If he’s not pulling an iron prank, he might be photographing another wall flower (found by Strands & Stitches, Laguna Beach – 1  1/2 hrs. N. of San Diego)

Many reflections bouncing off car lights into Los Angeles at sunset. But the colors  of the sky are a trade off for traffic:)

* More details about the palete: one small water well. The colors are concentrated. The white areas on the palette I use  for mixing my colors.

IS THERE A SUBJECT WHERE YOU CAN GO OFF IN GAZILLION TANGENTS?
(like I do here?)
