Rainy day

Spent the morning in my studio finishing off these 2 little watercolours. About 6 inches square( I’m in imperial land now) and fun to do. I had put the wash on last night and done the pencil drawing so this morning I sat with a tiny brush and painted tiny windows and chimneys. Actually it was very therapeutic just like colouring in.

I know the yellow is too powerful and definitely not what you would see BUT… this is a sunset from a couple of nights ago.

Last night we walked along the sea front and I’m sure I saw a pirate ship!!!

But today it rained so no such sunset tonight. But we are in Scotland after all.

This afternoon I put on my big girl pants, took a big breath and approached a gallery. I took original handmade postcards, my original artwork on greeting cards and the larger works I’ve been doing. I was greeted with “ I usually just have Scottish artists!” (Another big breath!) “Yes but they are all Scottish paintings “. “ Hmmm”. Then she looked at my greeting cards. “Yes I like these.” Then the postcards . “Yes I’ll take these too.” She couldn’t take unframed work, especially without a mat apparently. She loved the little Cromarty ones I had done this morning but no go without a frame. Anyway she bought the little paintings and now I’m an international seller of art!!!!

Talk tomorrow. Pamela
