While waiting for a bus in Normanby Street

from w
Yesterday I had five minutes before the bus was due so I sketched the perspective and shadows of the palm trees in Normanby Street. I was still drawing with a pencil when the bus turned up and I had to run! I later added watercolour, more pencil and even salt!

Changing pics with a click

from w
Instead of repainting a picture with different colours etc. with a click I can change it. I tried out variations of colour and shape here of two recent small paintings though usually I find that the original is the best anyway. I use either Picasa or Photoedit is a way of testing contrasting tones, colours, shapes.
