Two Fountains

It's been so very dry that it didn't occur to me we'd have rain. But it was absolutely pouring down when I left for this morning's sketch outing at Zenith Holland Nursery in Des Moines. Despite alerting sketchers yesterday that there is plenty of covered space, only 4 other intrepid sketchers came. The outing was for USk Seattle but it was USk Tacoma who came! And one was so intrepid she came from Bremerton!

It was still raining when I sat down for my first sketch. So I chose a dry fountain display in a back corner of the shop.

My long planned subject was the fountain in the outdoor courtyard. It was sprinkling but I managed to draw it without the ink running. However, when I added watercolor it quickly became spotted with drops. So I moved just inside the door to continue painting from observation, just a little to the other side.
