I did this watercolor sketch some time ago when my friend Mary Procter came to my house for a little sketching session. Mary and I have done plein air outside together, but this was a day when it was cold and blustery and we were indoors. The Capitol Hill Art League (CHAL) has a monthly challenge, and the February theme was "Memories." I submitted this. There is a very informal judging process in which the winner of the previous month's challenge chooses the winner for the next month. This little sketch was recognized with an Honorable Mention in February, which was a pleasant surprise.
I had won first place in the December challenge for the painting of a Ukranian Snowgirl and and so I got to choose the January winners. It is just something CHAL does all on-line with postings in our google group, on Facebook and on Instagram and is just for fun and to keep in touch. This month's theme is "Ocean's Up," and I'm not sure what I will do...yet.
