What Did You Say? 7x5 watercolor painting

What Did You Say?

7x5 watercolor painting

on 140 lb. Strathmore paper

unframed, but matted to 10x8 size

This little bird was in a tree when I was visiting one of the California missions, and each time I tried to get closer with my camera, he would move farther away from me.  So my reference photo was a little fuzzy, but he made a good subject for a quick little study.

Phantom, 12x9 oil painting

Phantom

12x9 oil painting

on Raymar cotton panel

Unframed

While I was visiting my son recently, Phantom showed up for breakfast at 6:00am.  Phantom is not their cat, but apparently has adopted my son's family. He really lives across the street, but he likes my son's house better.  I painted this from a photo I took of Phantom in the early morning light.

Hummer, 6x6 oil painting

Hummer

6x6 oil painting

on Raymar cotton panel

This is a painting I re-worked a bit to give it a little more life.  I had done it as a study for a similar painting I gave my mother for her 94th birthday last week.  I think she liked the one I did for her -- it brightened her day.

Spring Chick

8x10 watercolor painting

on 140# Fabriano cold press paper

I didn't have much time to paint today, so I did this little study from a photo I saw on paintmyphoto.ning.com.  This is a site where photographers post photos for artists to use as painting reference.  Although I was looking for a rooster, I couldn't pass up this cute little chick when I saw it.  Many thanks to the photographer, Diane Caswell Christian, for the use of her Spring Chick photo.

This painting is available for purchase through an online auction on Daily Paintworks.

Peaches

14x11 watercolor painting

on 140# Fabriano Artistico paper

I painted this from a photo of my dog, Peaches, during the time I took classes from Kim Johnson-Nechtman last year. Peaches was one of a kind --a gentle, loving dog who loved everyone. She lived for 17 years, and although Peaches has been gone for over ten years, I miss her every day.
