Watercolor Wednesday Year 2 Week 1

 Had my mother in mind when I painted this first one.  It was fun to paint something different and out of the norm.
The second one is from a Polaroid that my Dad took.  I have loved the photo for years but never felt like my painting abilities were up to par enough to try it.  I've always loved the mystery behind this shack.  What was it and why is it beside this lonely dirt road?

    I love the bike and the poppies. The left side area of the mysterious shack painting is interesting texture. Is that done with salt?

    that first one is so great - makes me think of a wee little village in northern Italy or something - sweet! The shack is beautiful & mysterious as well
