Day 72 HMBVFD Bell 2

Here's another sketch HMBVFD Bell 2 (watercolor, 5 x 7") in which I have added part of the fire house and a ribbon of hills behind the Pride of Madera.

I started work on the oil today and put the ribbon of hills right under the thing the bell hangs on. I hope the volunteers like it when it's done.

Day 71 HMBVFD Bell

I painted this first sketch of the HMBVFD Bell (watercolor, 5 x 7") from memory. I am preparing to do an oil to donate to the volunteers' crab feed in June. (Usually the painting is wet because I wait until the last minute.) I love the Pride of Madera flowers in the landscaping.
