#30x30DirectWatercolor2018 - paintings 12 and 13

Why a racehorse - well, I like painting racehorses. You may have seen I sketched one in ink as one of my daily sketches back in May. As for the wasp - well, it's a little bit of a pun. I had already painted the Vespa earlier, and vespa is the Italian for wasp.

One Sketch #76) Vintage Vespa #30x30DirectWatercolor2018

My daughter asked me
"Will you paint a bright red
Vintage Scooter?
I searched and found one,
Painted it,
I flipping hope it suits her.

Pretty much the verse says it all. Yesterday afternoon when I picked my middle daughter up from work she suggested that I paint her a Vespa. Well, I'm currently working on a large canvas in acrylic, so I won't do her an acrylic painting until I've finished that one. Still, I am faced with the challenge of making 30 watercolours in June, and so when I got up this morning, and I was looking for inspiration, this was the first thing that occurred to me. I'll still make her an acrylic painting of one - just don't know when.
