Watercolor: First Sip

First Sip 5 x 8.75 Watercolor on Arches Bristol paper
Painted from a photo of MM - taken by her husband on a trip to the east coast. I saw it on flickr, loved the light and the pose, and the moment captured there, so I asked permission to paint it. Yesterday, while flying from Alaska back to California, I painted the hours away.

You painted on the PLANE??? Wow, Belinda, you've got the steadiest hand ever. Beautiful painting. Love that light on her face and hands.

Hi Belinda! I have to remember that there are options to watching movies and being bored on a plane. Beautiful work, and I hope you had a great time in Alaska!

Thanks all - yes, it was a great time in Alaska. Painting/drawing on the plane is great fun, and as long as the flight is smooth, and your seat neighbor doesn't mind, I highly recommend it.
