Scheeringa's Farm in Winter

watercolor 
11" x 14"
landscape

This is a scene of one of our local farms that also sells it's, flowers and veggies when in season.  They also have a petting zoo here.  I love the green houses and a few years ago they built these new ones,   I can't wait for spring to come (especially since I live near Chicago and it is extremely  cold here right now).  I get so many of my plants here.  I do not plant the veggies, I plant the flowers....way too many, but they do not mind....Love this place.  Been going to it for years.

"Cool Paintings to Warm the Heart" #17

watercolor 
7" x 10"
landscape

Well, it is January 3 and we made it through the holidays.  Now to start thinking about taking down all the decorations.  Here in Indiana we do not have any of that white stuff on the ground....that is ok.

I started a basic 5-week drawing class for my students.  This is usually the time that I am off so that I can paint.but they begged and I know this will help them in their painting.  So we started yesterday and it went really well.  

Happy New Year....DRAW on new adventures and experience in 2019.
