Watercolor painting of an old store front.

Plein air watercolor painting    8 inches x 13 inches

I’ve always liked doing architecture paintings, whether in pastel or watercolor.

It could be a scene from any town or city in America.

This old architecture reminds me of a simpler, slower pace of life.
