Painting for PPF and TAW

Here is my watercolor of an older lady.
I am entering her in Take a Word - Wrinkles.
Here is a young woman dressed for winter.
Both of these were made while watching reruns
of Castle and NCIS on TV this week. I am having
trouble with my knee and I am limiting my trips up
and down the stairs. My art room is upstairs so I am
doing these in a journal using my pan watercolors
travel set. It is a challenge to make anything worth viewing.
I am entering this post in the Paint Party Friday challenge.
