Peaches, 14x11 watercolor painting

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.

He Served, 14x11 watercolor painting

He Served
14x11 watercolor painting
on 140# Fabriano Artistico paper

I painted this portrait of my dad, George Quinn, from an old black and white photo taken while he was in Italy during WWII. The note on the back of the photo said "San Maria, Italy, Feb. 1945". I searched the Internet for a town named San Maria or Santa Maria, but I couldn't find one. I did find other WWII records about his service, though. He served in the 10th Mountain Division Ski Patrol; and that division was in the Appenine Mountains driving back the Germans from northern Italy. My son just saw this painting over the weekend, and he loves it -- so I'm going to frame it and give it to him. His first-born son is named Quinn, after my dad.

Tree Study, 4x6 watercolor painting

Tree Study
4x6 watercolor / India Ink painting
on 140 lb. Fabriano cold press paper

Last Saturday I attended a class with watercolor artist John Erwin, who uses India Ink in his watercolor paintings.  The workshop was lots of fun, and I really like his technique.  Since my painting time was very limited today, I worked on a small tree study.

Sunflower Study, 7x5 watercolor painting

 Sunflower Study
7x5 watercolor painting
on 140 lb. Fabriano cold press paper

This is just a little study I did to practice sunflowers.  I had painted another flower on the reverse side of the paper, so it's a two-for-one!

I will happily ship this little painting with a white matte in a clear plastic bag.  It fits in a standard size frame, available at arts and crafts stores.
