Paint Party Friday - Two Canoes

Happy New Year and welcome to Paint Party Friday 2015! I often wonder how much longer Eva and Kristin will continue to host this lovely art co-op as we approach 5 years.

My piece today is entitled 'Two Canoes', inspired by various photos of mountains and canoes and reflections that have resonated with me. It's done in my art journal (5"h x 7"w) in watercolour pencil. This art journal is almost full, after about a year!

Wonderful sketch, Christine. I'm impressed that you're nearly done with your art journal. I seem to get them started and never quite finish. :)
Happy New Year!

What a wonderful addition to your journal - I bet it's fun to flip through...When it's filled you should make a page flip video!
(No plans of stopping PPF now - we're still having too much fun!)

Glad you're finishing up your art journal. What a sweet work to add to it -- they're like dream canoes -- I want to float away on them. Have a great new year.

Time sure flies! Happy new year!
