The second picture was done with watercolor pencils. My cousin's former home garden was decorated with several whimsical features, such as this. They just moved to senior citizens' housing, which does not have extensive gardening opportunities and I wanted to send them a housewarming present.The range of pigment colors seems to brought out my Inner Fauvist tendencies. I enjoy working with them, because of the departure from "standard" watercolor hues.
