I opened my studio as usual, and put a pile of postcard-size watercolors on a table.
I started making postcards for the Fresh Paint art fair that takes place here once a year. You give the postcards and in return get one ticket to visit the art fair.
I haven't been to Fresh Paint for two years, thanks to Covid and its various restrictions. But I continue to make postcards or small-size watercolors all the time in my studio. It may be a study for larger work, and sometimes I really do get bigger oils or watercolors done after the sketch. But they have a right to exist and shine on their own right.
I usually like to draw the view from the passenger's seat while on the road to somewhere. Cars are a favorite subject, or just road trips. As are train stations, subways, traffic and crowds.
