90-Minute Watercolor Sketch of the Ellis County Courthouse
The winds were fierce this morning, but the Quick Draw was fun. The event lasted 90 minutes (8:30-10:00) and I was pleased that this painting brought a fair price at auction. The winds and the 100-degree heat got to me after lunch, so I chose to make the 40-minute drive back home, and return in the late afternoon to attempt a second painting. I’ll post that one next.
Thanks for reading.

No. I could not do this in 90 minutes. Clapping for you!

Thank you, Leslie. I’m glad that the 90-minute Angst period is over! All the artists laugh at the “cringing” we experience, looking at the clock, and talking to ourselves, trying to finish on time.
