"Duffy's Pond" Merry Christmas!

One more before Christmas. 

This is a commission for a young lady who wanted to 

have her son and two dogs in a painting. 

Her son is #19. 

I had fun with this one. 

It had been a long time since doing a watercolour 

and very much enjoyed working with this medium again. 

This painting is off to Kamloops B.C 

to be placed under someone's tree. 

12X20 on Arches CP paper. 

"Montague"

This time i think i would live in the little purple house down the path on the right. It would be closer to the dock and i could get onto my boat anytime and sail away. But then maybe one would not want to sail away if living in Montague? I tried something a little different on the foreground with the squares of color. Kind of like pointalism but on a larger scale. It made for a very interesting texture and pattern.
