Gene,

Thanks, for your comment.  I really enjoy these little sketches.  Easy to whip up!  I have been doing these in my plein air sessions because they are quick and I can capture the moment a little bit better.  These I did at home off of photos and it's fun to just mess with the smaller pieces for fun.  Glad you like!

Thanks Pearl,

I just love landscapes and I think it shows in my work.  I appreciate everyones comments!

Thanks for the compliment Kim,

Yes, hot press is almost like it was ironed flat.  I like both weights, 90 and 140.  The 90 is of course a little bit less in cost, so for fun, I buy a large sheet and cut up into a bunch of 5x7's and have some fun with the watercolor and pen.  Give it a try!  I had never used it before and now I just love working on it.  I tend to like rough paper too, instead of cold press.

LT,

Thanks for the info.  I really enjoy working on the rough and hot because the paint doesn't soak in as quickly (so it seems) or possibly its the way the cold press absorbs the paint is that I don't like about it.  I do use it, but find it more fun to work on the other two types.
