Doing a Watercolor Painting

I am working on a painting of 4 old men from a small town in Italy. It's my watercolor teacher's photos.  We are working in darker colors which I find very challenging.  Anyway got to pick up my car now.  It's having brake work then going out to lunch with the ladies. Here is the photo I'm working from.

Good Day to Paint

Today happens to real cold outside and my basement is real warm.  I am going to do some painting till about 3 and then we're visiting Bruce and Rona.  I am including some photos I took at the Bronx Botanical Garden Train Show.  Below is Yankee Stadium and above the city skyline.

Breakthrough painting

Today I went to class and worked on a 5x7 painting of Oakland Preserve, a photo I took last week when it snowed.  Then I started another painting of a barn and I finished it.  This is a first for me.  I was really in the zone and Howard my oil painter teacher said I had a break through.  What a great feeling.  I am also including a photo of the train painting which I finished and framed.  It is hanging in the National Art League this month in Douglaston.  I am also selling some small painting on ebay, search for VHershfieldart
