This was painted for the WDE on WetCanvas from a photo reference by artastic. Thanks, Bonnie, for a great nostalgic still-life. This is about 5 x 7 done in watercolors.
aBSOLUTELY GLORIOUS, JOAN!You've made this simple scene into one of nostalgic beauty -- the colors, the shadings -- perfectly rendered!!! Really a beauty!
I have always participated in the visual arts including watercolors, drawing and sketching, pen and ink, and photography. Since retiring from teaching I have devoted much of my time to watercolors, sometimes combining them with pen and ink or collage.
Watercolor is the perfect medium to capture the beauty that surrounds us. I love to travel, and sketch and paint wherever I go. Painting, especially on location, captures the spirit and life of the subject. I hope to continue doing that for a long time to come.

Thanks Lin! When I saw the shaving cup and the brush I knew I had to paint this. I can almost smell the soap my grandpa used to use.
It looks even better in person.
One of my faves...
