Bodie Ghost Town

6x9 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, done this past weekend while out of town.  Photo courtesy Li Newton of WetCanvas, who was the host for weekly drawing events, a 2 hour timed art session.  My attempt here was about 1.5 hours.  Bodie, a ghost town, is located in California.

Old O'Donnell Shack

15x22 wet in wet watercolor on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper of this old rundown abandoned shack.  It sits by highway 87 in O'Donnell, TX and I have painted its weary boards before but never tire of giving it one more life in the west Texas landscape. What was odd was the gigantic yucca at the corner rising tall as if to guard its former home from strangers and artists with cameras.
