Charlie O'Shields wrote a new post, My Little Kitchen Travel Palette 8 hours, 27 minutes ago
As many of you know by now, I’m not really a travel sketcher in that I don’t travel particularly often, so that’s most of it. When I first started painting, I got a little travel set imaging all of the places I

This is a great looking little palette. Indoors is better. No bugs, no heat stress and there’s snacks! In your case, there’s someone to cook snacks for you! What’s not to like!!

Thank you Charlie for taking all of us traveling with you! It’s quite an adventure of it’s own.

Wonderful painting of your painting kit! I have one of those Cheap Joe’s palettes, but I’ve never filled it with paint! You’ve inspired me to add some colors and use it.

What is the skinny metal container? It’s a nice design.

I like your painting of the Cheap Joe’s set more than I like the real thing! Congrats on 1140 days! I wish I’d taken note of the day I started doing my postcards but I know it’s been at least a year. That’s good enough for me.

Wonderful idea of kitchen as a table

Loved the blog and the art! Ever since I’ve joined your community, I’ve this immense urge every morning to do at least one sketch/watercolor. Thanks to you and fellow artists for the continuous encouragement and inspiration.

Oh wow! I love those missed opportunities…. hehe… they make for wonderful stories! 😃💕I didn’t go up in either the Eiffel Tower or that Tower in Pisa. Not a fan of cramped spaces and heights. hehe… but still love my memories from the ground.

Today’s prompt is “famous building” and after mentioning the Leaning Tower of Pisa in a my previous Eiffel Tower post, that’s where my mind went today. I thought it would be fun to sketch another complex structure

I like the way you wrote about the tower and the lessons it embodies for watercolorists – “a dance between nature and the artist.” Lovely painting of the tower, too.

I spent four months in Europe and never got to Pisa I’m afraid. I also didn’t go up the Eiffel Tower. Hindsight is a poor substitute. OTOH, I missed a ferry in Ireland and had to sleep on a parked train sitting by the ferry terminal on the Irish Sea. The coldest night I have ever spent anywhere in my life. Your story of the tower is inspiring.

This is a great painting and the story so interesting. Hard to believe people actuallty go in and up the stairs. I remember going into an antique store one time and the salesperson saw me looking at a compote that almost had the same tilt. He looked at me and said “Arn’t imperfections wonderful?” The compote was beautiful and made for great conversation.

Hi Charlie, firstly thank you for this great community you have got here, I am really enjoying being a part of this group and it’s nice to make new friends, including you. Love your travel kit, I don’t go anywhere either, that’s where google comes in very handy.
