Paint Party Friday - The Laundry



Welcome to Paint Party Friday! This piece is done in my art journal (8 1/2" x 11") in watercolour pencil and crayon. It's called 'The Laundry', inspired by a photo I saw in the newspaper, taken in Italy.

I really like this one, Christine. The bricks are terrific. I remember seeing scenes like this in Europe.

I love this one. A vintage European feel to it! Wish we still had clothes lines. My SIL mom still has one! You have captured the feel of the day with the shading!Excellent!

Hugs Giggles

It does have a very European flare, Christine!
Happy PPF!

Oh laundry. Reminds me that in Australia everyone has clothes-lines in their back yard, but here we all use dryers! Happy PPF!

so reminiscent of the past-at least in my area. No one hangs out laundry any longer.Lovely illustration!

Lots of "wife beater" undershirts on that line. Hope they belong to a nice guy:-) Love the piece.

I don't remember the last time I hung laundry. I don't have the yard for it anyway. Your picture looks really good.

Your beautiful painting immediately whisked me off to Italy, seeing that laundry hanging. Such a homely piece Christine.
I'm now thinking that I may be the only one still to hang out my washing on a line reading the above comments. I do have a tumble dryer but only use it when I really have to.
Thanks for visiting my place. Happy PPF to you

Lovely painting and I love the subject matter. We do still hang some thins out on the line.

Evocative piece. Laundry lines are so rarely seen here in the US.
