I love to use ink and watercolor for pre-sketching my composition. In fact, ink alone is my "go to", but I often take it further, adding color. I have a hard time deciding which media to use here, so I end up bringing ink, watercolor and oils! It's silly, because it is a long haul to the car, so I carry it all in a heavy bag over my shoulder! But what's an artist to do? Once I had finished with the ink and watercolor, I did not go on to paint an oil here. Happy with this painting, there was no need to express it again. So, I walked to the adjacent corner for the quick paint using oil. I again used the portrait format with tree and window, only with a different vantage. I do like that I could see the historic clock here. Five generations of my family have walked these halls, and surely checked the time on that clock. I love that I'm now painting here, in this timeless place. Painting number 3252 in 3252 days.
