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.

"Springtime Basket"



"Springtime Basket"

12 x16 Watercolor

$200

After a busy January and a bad cold, I am now back to painting and excited about a new focus for the new year! I want to explore watercolors in new ways....at least new to me. I am going to try to paint looser and let those "happy accidents" happen. I think I am also about finished with the concept of doing a painting every day, because I feel they don't really represent my best work, nor are they challenging except just to get one done, and that is not who I am as an artist. So I won't be posting as often, but hopefully my work will be better and more interesting.
I am very happy with this painting on several levels, so I think it's a good start. Click on it for a better look. You may purchase paintings by clicking on BuyNow and I do have PayPal.Thanks to all who follow this blog and I hope you visit often to see my new paintings.

"Remembering Snow"

8 x 10 Watercolor

Yes, I do remember snow, even though I have lived in Florida for many years. Snow is pretty and it is fun to paint and fun to play in for a short period, but I love sunny weather best! However, it is nice to remember snowy weather.

"Daisy Mood"

"Allamanda Bouquet"

"Allamanda Bouquet"

8 x 10 Watercolor

$75

There are always flowers blooming in Florida and I found several interesting things in the garden to arrange in a little bouquet to paint. There are three Allamanda blooms with leaves, two leaves from a Poinsettia, and a red Christmas Cactus that is still blooming. I used only the three Primary colors in this painting, just to limit my palette somewhat. Hope you like it! Your comments are always appreciated. Click on the painting for a close up view. The splatters of blue paint  are intentional, by the way!

"Ready to Fall"

"Ready to Fall"

11 x 14 watercolor

$75

Looking like wings on each side, like it might fly away or fall down, this old barn evokes memories of days gone by. Eventually there will be very few, if any, old barns left! I regret that people aren't restoring more of them for future generations to see.
