Sunday Sketches - Still Life

I did a still life today based on a photo I saw in the newspaper.   I put my own flower pattern on the chairs. It's tough to draw 3 chairs like this, it seemed simple at first.  I struggled with giving them some depth and also with the proportions. It's an art card in watercolour pencils (4 1/4"h x 5 1/2"w).  My son K took a photo of it for me, it seems to show up better than the scanned version.

    Love the colours in the chairs. I have started to photograph most of my work as I find the colours come up truer and then I dont have to fiddle around in photoshop to get the right colour.
