Yesterday we were showing Roxie and Juno at Midland Counties Championship Show.
It was a beautiful morning, so even though the show was inside I took lots of photographs of them in the sun.
They are both are in the middle of growing their new coats.
I have been wanting to try watercolour paint for my miniatures and also try my hand at some botanical art. Imagine my delight when I saw the wonderful photograph posted for the October Virtual Sketch Date.
I tried one pear in watercolour, turned another one round and finished it in graphite. I can see plenty of things that need refining, but I will be using watercolour again. In fact I've started a watercolour cat, more of that in the next post.

I love how you put two versions in one drawing! Nicely executed!
That watercolour is spot on! Makes me want to dig mine out and have a go..............
I love the contrast and uniqueness of this piece Gayle. Just lovely.
And the dogs....what beauties - or should I say handsome creatures.
Oh my, you handle those colored pencils with a masterful touch. Your pears are totally convincing.
Interesting approach to your composition - I really like the watercolor one a lot!
Hi Gayle, a great pair of pears! They both work beautifully. Looking forward to seeing your watercolour cat!
You are a woman of many talents Gayle! Love the pears.
BTW - Roxie & Juno are beautiful. Looks like a great comp for another of your wonderful paintings.
Oh I like this. The contrast is super.
Lovely work!
I like how you turned the pear and put the two mediums on the same drawing, yet each individual.
Your original interpretation of the pears reference is clever. An exercise in contrasts. Lovely work.
