The theme for this month's Girls Just Wanna Paint challenge is "fashion". As soon as I began to ponder, last year's royal wedding jumped into my head. I remember the morning, setting the alarm to watch all the pageantry, and to listen to all the commentary about the thoughtfulness that went in to the ceremony, including honoring Diana. I remember that Meghan Markle walked half way down the cathedral alone, followed by a cadre of adorable children, and then was met by Prince Charles for the remainder of the walk, a couple of meaningful statements. Bottom line, I loved it. This is my value study for a painting I am putting together. I took the photo from my television during the festivities. This is my six hundred eighth daily drawing. Thank you, as always, for looking.
A few years ago, I joined some artist friends in New Harbor, Maine in a lovely Victorian house for a week of painting and friendship. I went two different years. The area is very familiar to me as my family has been visiting there for several generations. Here is a drawing of the porch at dusk, just as the interior lights were coming on. It's a sweet place.
