I painted these three Rabbit card Easter week. I gave the middle one to my grandson and just posted the other two to my nieces in Winnipeg as their birthday cards. Hope you like them!<br />

These two 5X7 paintings I gave as gifts to our Waiters on our recent cruise on Celebrity Eclipse. I have been painting a lot since then and in the last year but have been too busy to post. SORRY. I will try to keep more up to date this year. I have actually been painting a lot . Jocelyn T.

This bouquet I also painted in February.I took the reference photo for this looking down on the flowers and the vase from above to exaggerate the pedals of the mums.The carnations and white rose diminish in the grander of the mums.I did several light washes on one petal at a time.<br />

I did this painting for a nurse I work with. It is of her with her dog and her daughters dog. It was a fun painting to work on.for the flesh tones I used a mixture of Cad. red, lemon yellow and yellow ochre; alizarin crimson and burnt sienna; and for the shadows cad red,burnt sienna and cobolt blue.the dogs fur was light washes of yellow ochre and the second dog had some terra rose added.

Many people would not believe that this beautiful,colorful spot is in downtown London. Great shops and cafe here. I created this 8X10 with both regular watercolor and watercolor markers as well as ink.<br />

This past January I signed up for an artist challenge to do thirty paintings in thirty days. I only managed to complete 19 but I am pleased with what I accomplished as I also worked about 14 shifts Nursing and had the flu for a couple of days.<br />

I just finished painting this house for one of my co workers to give it to her husband for his birthday. They already own my Trevi Fountain painting and I was pleased to paint their home for them. It is a beautiful place and unfortunately I could only capture one angle. I think this entrance says a lot though. Besides their home that they refinished her husband also loves his sail boat that I included in the top left hand corner.Jocelyn T.

Grasshopper is a card I made for my youngest sisters birthday card. She is presently in the South Pacific enjoying all the fauna and creatures there.This little guy was done on Strathmore 140 lb watercolor card stock. I used an elegant writer Pen by Speedball then did a wash with it and followed after that dried with watercolor.There are a couple of excellent videos on u-tube on how to use the Elegant Writer. I purchased a pack of four at Staples for just under $15.<br />
