The Four Seasons, Baltimore




At the Four Seasons Hotel, Baltimore.



11x14, Patricia Bennett, watercolor on paper, The Four Seasons Lobby
I sat on a wooden bench in the lobby and drew for a couple of hours.  

While I was drawing the flower display, the florist arrived and took all of the flowers away!  He replaced the pink roses with small orange pumpkins.  
Perhaps the image would be better cropped.  A try below.  I will begin a formal painting of the scene in the next few weeks.
Cropped, Patricia Bennett, The Four Seasons of Baltimore Lobby
Or perhaps some more cropping...

Cylburn Mansion Interior Watercolor Sketches

"Cylburn Mansion Interior", 9x9 inches, watercolor, Patricia Bennett
 I painted these today as ideas for paintings I hope to start next Tuesday.  There is lovely architecture inside of the Cylburn Mansion, and I wanted to show the light coming through the windows.

Khushi

"Khushi", watercolor, 11x14", Patricia Bennett    
Khushi is a very sweet poodle who used to live down the street from me.

I'm starting a commission tomorrow of a beagle in the same niche.  The beagle, sadly,
is deceased.

Common Grounds

"Purple Hair" 11x14" watercolor, ink, gouache, Patricia Bennett
http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/patricia-bennett/d81f7d54-7713-4e24-8d50-c2be1cd17a18
We hung seven of my paintings up in my favorite coffee shop, The Common Ground, in Hampden.
The theme is Charles Village oils and portrait watercolors.  The paintings will hang for a month.

In this watercolor, I used black ink for the black.  It made the image more striking.
