Stormy Sky for Illustration Friday – 4″ x 6″ Watercolor & Ink
Sky is the word this week for Illustration Friday. I discovered an amazing photographer at PaintMyPhoto…. PixelBloke took the photo I painted this from. It was so fun to bring it to Bethville. 
Sunday, I worked on a couple more historic Eufaula buildings. One of them is the Armory, which was built in 1936 by the WPA program. The other on is the Foley Mansion, which was built in 1901 and burned in 1962. I need to go to the library and find some better photos of it. It’s amazing!

Thanks, Leslie! I really owe that to the great photo. Thanks for introducing me to paintmyphoto.com
Wow! Beautiful sky! The teeny house is wonderfully done and the sky just goes on forever! I have no idea what I’m going to do for this one.
Thanks, Cindy! I’m sure you’ll figure something out, being the steampunk gal you are. How about a pilot?
Great colors! I also love the puffy clouds!
Thanks so much, Hannah!
