Lotus Barn

My artwork was done in the heat of a hot sunny day in a little town called Lotus at a group paint out. Lotus is only a few miles from a popular Gold Rush state park at Coloma in California. I am not sure what this vertical structure was used for when it was a functioning entity, but it looked like it wanted to be painted.

While we thought we would be painting on a quiet country road through this little town during our paint out, we were surprised to discover this road was heavily traveled. Hard to relax when there are trucks and cars roaring past over the speed limit. Ink and watercolor.

Used this as a model for my students to draw and paint one day. Several did a great job.
