Day 1 - Portrait of St. Marys

Victoria Bridge in Summer, St. Marys. Watercolour & Casein on watercolour paper, 5x8 inches.

Victoria Bridge in Summer, St. Marys

Well... it's finally here.  Day 1 of my 30-day challenge.   This month will be all things St. Mary's... there will be paintings, a few facts, and a bit of history.  

Welcome.  Thanks for joining me on this journey!

Today's painting features the historic Victoria Bridge... a stone, 4-arched bridge across the Thames River. I painted this from a reference photo I took this summer.  I've always love the beautiful flower baskets that decorate the bridge in the summer. 

This painting will be unique for the challenge... This one was painted in watercolour.  Likely all the remaining paintings will be done in acrylics!  Stay tuned. 

One more thing... while I will be offering almost all the paintings this month for purchase, todays painting is not for sale.  Rather, it will raffled off to email subscribers!
