I've been on the road on my BIG Adventure for 11 days now and I've really been keeping busy with other things. I have not managed to find as much time as I thought for painting. So when I woke up one morning while visiting Whigby Island and it was cloudy and cold; I decided it was a good enough excuse to take the day off from sightseeing and stay in to do a bit of watercolor painting. Here's what I did during my day off from sightseeing...

| "Honesty Flower Stand"; Watercolor on 9" x 12" paper. |
All over Whigby Island there are stands that are not tended by people they just put the flowers or sweet corn or other vegetable/fruit out with a box to leave the money in. It just boggles my mind because coming from a large city where something like would never fly. It is almost like it hails from another time.

| "Libbey Beach"; Watercolor on 10" x 15" Paper. |
This is based on a photo I took on Libbey Beach which is on the west side of Whigby Island. It's the first watercolor I've done of a beach scene and painting the rocky beach was a bit of a challenge to figure out. But it's always good to have room to grow and learn.
