The image started as a pencil sketch and then a study in oil pastels that I quickly abandoned because the results just weren't satisfactory. Finally, I came back to it a couple of weeks ago, trying a new sketch. This time the painting went well and I spent much of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights working. As always, I'm unhappy with the quality of the scan, especially in the way it treated the weathered white fencing. 9"x12", watercolor and pencil, on Fabriano 140 lb. paper.

What sweet, shy, inquisitive faces. And the ropes, BrianC, look as if they have popped right off of the page and/or my computer screen and that I should be able to reach out and take one. Absolutely wonderful.
very nice! I love the different colors you used. They bring a playful and unexpected element.
