"From the Garden"

"From the Garden"

9 x 12 watercolor

$65

Still painting florals! This one I am not pleased with as much as the others. It doesn't seem vibrant like I was hoping, although I glazed quite a bit. The paper was a new one and it seemed to absorb the paint like a blotter, resulting in pale colors. But it kind of grows on you! I like the clay pot and the mix of colors.

"Flowers on the Windowsill"

"Flowers on the Windowsill"

9 x 12 Watercolor

$65

Another floral, loosely done with some lace stenciling behind the flowers in the window.  The flowers are sitting on the outside of a window. Love the very dark shadows at the bottom.

"Garden Pick of the Day"

"Garden Pick of the Day"

12 x 9 Watercolor

$65

A departure from my usual "tightly"done realistic paintings, I am purposely trying to paint in a looser style and have a bit of fun doing it! I did this wet into wet, just playing with color, layering and splashing on shapes. That is not to say that it is any quicker or less thoughtful, but the results are different than I have been doing flowers. What do you think? I really like it and hope to do a series of florals in this manner. Your comments are appreciated!

Another close up of a Paris Cafe. There is something so special about outdoor cafes in Paris...the color, the sounds, the delicious food and interesting people! This one brings vivid memories back of my trip there with my daughter and son-in-law. A dream vacation!
