Skittles

I called this Guy Skittles because of his rainbow of colors. This painting is very loose for me and I am pleased I was able to do this. He is just a little larger at 11.5 X 8.5. Again he is on 300lb.Arches cold press paper and I also used some artist ink with him.

Two McCaws

Beside working on a series of Flower Paintings I am also working on a series of Bird Paintings from Photos I took in a Zoo in Tenneriffe ,Spain this past Feb. Birds are my passion as well as flowers and Art.
 This painting is 8X10 and I love the expression on these guys face as if one is talking and the other guy is listening!

I've Fallen for you!

This is my second watercolor flowers in a series I plan to do. It is from a photo I took of tulips on my coffee table in my living room. I love the way the light hit the open flowers and although they were just about to fall apart they were beautiful! The painting is done on 399lb Arches cold press paper with Windsor and newton watercolors. There also some Faber-Castell Pitt artist pen in it as well..

Cardiff Bouquet Final Touches?

Well, I did go back in and darken the shadows and pulled out some highlights. Funny how once you post something you can see it through different eyes. I am now pleased with it but still will leave it a couple of days to look at to be sure. Try to pick out the changes I made!

Cardiff Bouquet

This 11x14 watercolor is of a bouquet of flowers I took a photo  of just outside a shop in Cardiff last March.I loved all the colors in the arrangement and especially liked the poppy facing forward.
  I started this last week and began by using Prisma black ink to draw the stamens in the poppy first.
   I love ink combined with watercolor and I may still go back in and work more detail as it is hard for me to paint loose.

Tulips for Judith

This is a 11x14 watercolor painting of Tulips sitting on my Kitchen Table with a Richard Flynn Painting in the background. I took this painting to Wales as well formy other sister-in-law Judith!

Iris for Helena

This is an 11x14 watercolor painting I did for my sister-in-law Helena and took it to Wales for her.I am sorry I haven't posted in awhile as it had been a long & hectic winter. My basement was packed up and had to be renovated due to water damage from a pipe leak so my computer was down for awhile. I still managed to paint this and my next one for a gift for each of my sister -in laws.
