Marianne's September Draw and Paint

[mpizzazz]

I'm signing up for this because I've been wanting to sketch or paint everyday for a month for years. Since we've been at the house exchange, I've been working on a Paivi Eerola class on watercolor painting almost every day so what's one more quick little sketch or paint project! I want to keep them to about 20 minutes.

It's Sept. 2 here so I will post both of these today.

Sept 1-View from the dining table in our apartment.

Sept 2-Today is Father's Day in Australia so I made Ray pancakes for breakfast with vanilla ice cream and passionfruit. He then decided to add a splash of Muscat on top.

These are fabulous! I so wish I could join in, but this month is just crazy for me. At least I get to enjoy all the eye candy!

Her Instagram is pretty cool too.
I took a pen pal class with her which was pretty neat.

Here are Sep 3, 4, and 5. I'm going to upload in groups of 3 to fit in one message.

Sep 3-We've been enjoying fresh local pineapples from a farmers' market and on the third we drove by some pineapple fields.

Sep 4-We also drove by macadamia, avocado and mango orchards. It's still very early Spring but I did see a few macadamia trees with flowers on them. Macadamias are native to this part of Queensland and are locally called Queensland nuts or Bauple nuts after the nearby mountains.

Marianne, these are all wonderful, but that macadamia plant - WOW! You did an amazing job with that one.

[pamcook]

They’re wonderful! You’re so talented!

!!!! They're all great, but that macadamia is wonderful.

Thanks, the macadamia one is my favorite, too. I wasn't sure the white pen would work as well as it did but it looks like I wanted it to. That paper was a light olive green CS paper with a lot of bumpy texture. Can't remember the kit name right at the moment but it liked the watercolors.
