The series is inspired by my love of ancient ruins art.<br />Nope, no rain and we are past it for the season, extreme drought here. I almost feel guilty doing these watercolors because of it ; )David Teterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747334525619423349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678510662517034889.post-22388453288182961032014-05-07T06:25:10.221-07:002014-05-07T06:25:10.221-07:00I love this one David!

This one really stands out in your series which is saying something as they are all excellent! I find I'm particularly drawn to the ones that appear ancient-ruin-ish and I also love the ochres and umbers!<br /><br />I hope you've had some rain since I last visited your blog? We've had a very healthy drop of rain today - very cosy weather it is too after all the heat.Wendy Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809722045189710005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678510662517034889.post-25561370047663982782014-05-03T23:48:59.489-07:002014-05-03T23:48:59.489-07:00Thank you Katherine,
