Here is a little colored pencil sketch that was inspired from Leslie's Drawing A Day Blog.
You will have to scroll down to the end of September or first part of October to see the neat little recessed borders that she does. Anyway I wanted to give one a try and this one is done on taupe mat board that is 5x7 total (including border). It was really fun to do and I would not mind doing a few more. Thanks Leslie for the inspiration!

The watercolor to the right is the painting that I sent to Jane in Pennsylvania for my SWAP group. This is "Sunny" my betta fish that keeps me company in the studio as I paint. Each quarter we paint a 5x7 or 7x9 watercolor and Rhonda http://rhcarpenter.blogspot.com/ draws names and we send them off while we wait for our suprise to arrive in the mail. Thanks Rhonda for all of your hard work.
