Today, 9/18/2010... Finished!!! Thankyou Deborah for your suggestion on finishing touches. And now (drum roll please Rich, on to the calendar!)
And now I'm almost finished, but what else does it need ?(beside my signature).
and then...Stables with more color and tree. Halfway there?...
The next day 9-17-2010...Stables with some color...
9-16-2010: Here is my preliminary pen and ink drawing for the Villa Montalvo Stables. I didn't even know it was at Montalvo until someone at the summer luncheons suggested I'd like to paint it. I found it off the last parking lot nestled in the woods. Now it is used as a ceramics studio and for other things, but I can imagine it as it use to be, with the horses nearby ready to retire for the day. Tomorrow I hope to watercolor it and then... I will have all the paintings I need to finish my calendar!! I love the challenge of completing a project. So rewarding.
Look! The Villa Montalvo Calendars are in! They have 2 different backgrounds to choose from, patterned and plain colors. You see them at Gallery Saratoga. I love the way they turned out. I think I'll work on another calendar of some kind for next year too.
