I am off to Nags Head with my family for Spring Break Vacation... No more making lunches, carpools, and homework! At least for a week anyway... Yippee
This next watercolor is of laundry on the clothesline. I have always wanted to try to paint clothes on the line. There is a gracefulness about how they hang, and swing with the gentle breeze...

No more laundry for you, Laura! Enjoy that vacation. Are you still going to post every day while on vacation?
Your laundry is clean - but the paper looks wet. you are very good with watercolor!
I love this... love blue and white together.
I also think there is something wonderfully simple and beautiful about clothes hanging on a line.
Lovely. I look out of my kitchen window at the laundry hanging inthe garden next door and often think how lovely it looks. YOu have caputred that look.
We made it! We are in Nags Head, and yes to RHCarpenter... I will be posting every day :)

gorgeous! Nice movement, makes me think of draming of laundry hanging on a hot summer day with the locusts singing in the background...
Happy Vacation, Laura!
All working mom's deserve a nice break ~ ENJOY! :)
What is it about Laundry that we all love. Is it the freshness?
Beautiful! The colours are so nice.
Oh, how i'm enjoying these daily posts!
This is so peaceful; it brings back such lovely summer memories. Ahh, the fresh smell on the towels is divine- how did you manage to paint that?!
Lovely - a fresh and unusual subject for watercolors. Very crisp and refreshing. Oh - and I visited Nags Head this past summer! very cool!
I love a line full of fresh laundry -- and sheets that smell like fresh air. This is a great subject
You hit this one out of the ball park! Wonderful!
I love this painting and have featured it in my Treasury. :) http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=50059
Enjoy!
Hi Laura,
You really captured the feel of a spring breeze blowing the clothesline, beautiful and peaceful.Kandio
Really beautiful and simple...
You know Laura, I haven't seen this one before and it's remarkable in its simplicity and ordinary subject. I remember Mother hanging clothes on the line. She didn't want a clothes dryer for the longest time. She liked the way the clothes smelled. Once my father brought home the airedale, clothes hanging was over. Daisy, the dog, thought clothes on a line were a great game for her! She pulled them off, tipped 'em around the yard, and my mother went out and bought a gas dryer. hahahahaha!
