Not thrilled with the painting, but so enjoyed getting out, at Mukilteo Lighthouse Park #discovermukilteo #pleinair #poshadeboxThe only painting with more pressure than a portrait of a person is a portrait of their pet. This is for Lacy at Red Cup Cafe, hope she likes it. #dogpainting #watercolor #dauchshundI added 3 new paintings - 3 originals sold last week. Love Red Cup for their support, headed there for coffee in a bit. #redcup #mukilteo #discovermukilteoArchives
