Sometimes when I'm out of canvas, it's a watercolor day. That's what happened yesterday.
One of these is an all day project, what with the waiting time between applications of paint.

A couple of pretty peaches. I've had a few yummy ones this summer, by using the paper bag trick for five or six days, but it's so disappointing when you pick a gorgeous peach, and find it mealy inside. Bummer.

This one has a little more toned down color than those I've been doing lately. Not quite as much of the bright yellows and oranges, though I love those as well.

I was happy with yesterday's painting, so decided to use the same reference photo (from Rock Creek here in the DC area) and do it in a landscape format.  I like the sense of light and shadow here.
