There are things that charm me every time I see them and near the top of that list (along with kittens and laughing babies) has to be red geraniums in window boxes.

| Started sketching in bed this morning. |
 |
| I started with very pale gray watercolor all over the bricks and let that dry, that's the mortar. Then I shaded in the dark windows and I added the bricks little by little making sure I varied the colors and how much water I added. |
 |
| The bricks are finally done. |
 |
| Adding the flowers and more color. |
 |
Adding some details.
Despite the careful sketching and plotting at the beginning my window panes are uneven! |
 |
After all the watercolor painting was done I added shading and details with pencil, watercolor pencils and marker.
And from yesterday, DPP#1 Rainbow. |
Your window is beautiful - and it was interesting to see the progression.
