Water Lily, Watercolor, Daily Painting

"On the Lake"

(Water Lily)

5 x 7 inches

Watercolor 

Sold

I took more than 50 pictures of lilies on lake Okeechobee, before the drought. (We still can't get the boat in the water!) Now and then I paint another one of those pictures, they are all so unique. Everywhere I looked there were tons of lily pads, buds, and blooms! I was so struck by the multitudes of them that I felt like I was on a different planet.

I have been practicing watercolors as I have been giving private lessons and one of my students is in love with watercolors! We are having too much fun with them. Enjoy!

The Ghost, Barn,Birds, Impressionism Landscape

"The Ghost"
9 x12 inches

Acrylic on gessoed board

Not Available

This is one I did in November 2006. I have added water and birds, and more foliage. I struggled with leaving as it was, because it really captured the essence of the memory I had of this old barn. But I kept seeing water and birds making it a stronger composition. Making it better won out over keeping the essence of the memory. Now it reminds me of a barn I saw near a pond recently.

Crepe Myrtle, Watercolor, Plein Air

Crepe Myrtle Study

9 x 12 inches

Watercolor
$500.00

Went out at sunset and rushed through this splash of color! I have wanted to paint these for quite sometime, but they are on the side of the house that rarely gets sun. So I had to do them quickly. I like the shadows on the house, and the loose painterly quality.

Iris Study, Watercolor, Daily Painting

Iris Study

9 x 12 inches

Watercolor

Sold

This is a demo I did for an art lesson. I plan to strengthen the grass and stem, as they don't seem quite finished yet. But I liked the colors and the effects of watercolor in the background. This is not completely an original, the lesson came out of a book. I did change the composition some, but most of my demonstrations come from books.

Old Timer, Grizzly, Wildlife Impressionism

"Old Timer"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

NOT AVAILABLE

It's all about the texture and the color, not the subject! I used the paint very thick and and love the way the light hits this grizzly bear. I painted this from one of my photos. He was at a zoo, but I changed the back ground to a place in Montana. We had lots of bears out there, and what an exciting thing to see them in the wild!

Pretty in Pink, Floral Impressionism

"Pretty in Pink"

9 x 12 inches

Acrlic on canvas board
Ready to frame
$650.00 plus shipping

I was interested in the different shades of pink against all that green! It was a fun, fast, thick-paint kind of day. My goal was to do it alla prima, but I ended up going back this morning and touching up a couple of places that didn't agree with me.
