The Bookcase

This 4 by 8 inch (10.2 x 20.3 cm) original watercolor is painted on archival 140 lb. cold pressed watercolor paper. The subject of the painting is based on one of my own bookcases.


The end has come to the challenge. I did it, which was very satisfying. Having said that, I have to admit that it put a lot of pressure on me. It wasn't the painting - it was trying to decide what to paint and if the subject was too involved to paint within a couple of hours.

I'd do it again, but not for a while.
