Okavango Watercolors

Here is a some watercolor studies, that I did while I was on holiday for a few days with my family on a house boat in Shakawe.My Dad had some maintenance work to do on the house boat,so he thought that if he invites the family along he will get some free labor and we could enjoy a bit of a holiday in the afternoons.I am glad I managed to go even if it was just a few days.The food was great,and so was the fishing,we caught a number of Tiger fish and some bream, which we enjoyed cooking and eating.

Most of my holidays I will bring my pencil,paper and watercolors along.I find that painting and drawing on holiday is so much more relaxing and enjoyable than when I am just at home.I seem to loose the desire for perfection in my art and end up painting just for the sheer enjoyment of painting.
