Watercolor doodles in my sketchbook

Some quick watercolor paintings I did on my deck.  I like to sketch in watercolor, it is quick way to brainstorm the next painting.  I hope to paint more in the next few weeks.

Bunny Feeder Build.

I recently built a bunny feeder per the cusomer's specs.  This is how it turned out.  I used Cedar wood with no stain.  The lid opens up on top to fill with hay.  The customer provided the bowls and the litter pan.
