"Spring Bunnies"

 "Spring Bunnies"

8 x 10 Watercolor

$85

I've seen a few bunnies in my yard lately, munching away as hard as they can on the new Spring grass and weeds. I just hope they stay out of the garden, where I have herbs, veggies and flowers growing. They are cute, though, and I did this painting to show my watercolor class and to help them learn to layer color and build up details. Click on it for a closer view.

"The Old Barn"



"The Old Barn"

8 x 10 Watercolor

$85

So many old barns are being torn down because there aren't that many small farms left. Now it is huge farming operations with very modern equipment. Things have certainly changed. I still love the old barns...the many colors in the old wooden boards, the weathered tin roofs. Old barns hold lots of memories!

"Ocean Waves"

"Ocean Waves"

8 x 10 Watercolor

$85

This was a fun painting that I did for my students as a demo. I was teaching them how to use the white of the paper as their "whites" and how to use clear plastic wrap on wet paint to create texture. Click on it for a close up view.
