I went on holiday and took my brushes, tubes, paper etc to my hometown where I stayed. I thought I would be able to paint at least one watercolour every two days but it didn't work out. I realized that I needed to have a rest and let my mind wander for a while to find a new interesting topic and get my energy back.<br /><br />It took time and patience to paint your painting but the result is simply gorgeous.Annaquarel.leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362536214397929187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942797782549905187.post-91555378628203676492010-08-22T13:00:21.489-04:002010-08-22T13:00:21.489-04:00Thanks for the mention, Susan.

The couple seems to bask in each others company.<br />I found the pose your stepson is in - 3/4 view with the face tilted downward - was sometimes hard to pull off. You did it perfectly.<br />You also have lots of marvelous color in the faces.

It turned out great! I think it shows a lot of emotion! Love it!<br /><br />BTW, I see that you live in Poland, Maine. I grew up in Maine, born in Portland (that's where the hospital was!), lived first in Falmouth, then moved to a farm in North Yarmouth, and graduated from U of Maine in Orono. Have you lived in Poland for long? I have family in Maine, but I currently live in California -- where I never thought I'd ever live!
