BUTTERFLY #3..(Purplish Copper)...Watercolor

Another butterfly, but this one is a little different...It's called a
Purplish Copper..
Am trying to get a good one for Annabelle. My great, great, niece who just loves butterflies.

As far as this painting goes, my background is still an "issue" for me.
Isn't ISSUE a useful word??
Think I'll work on this a bit more before framing.

Thanks for checking.

HUNGRY BUTTERFLY #2... Watercolor.

This is the second in my trial for a good butterfly for my little niece,
Annabelle.
Am working on another so she can choose.
The painting was based on a photo that Kathryn took in her back yard, also I
just happened to have a real butterfly, I found in my yard.
They are so very remarkable.

WATERING CANS #2... Watercolor 4 X 6

These watering cans are painted on 140 hot press paper..I like the way the paint moves on this paper. However, sometimes it isn't the effect I'm looking for on some pictures...

These small painting are fun to use for cards or to frame a give as gifts...

Sometimes I think people would rather hang something small so as not to use too much space.

Thanks for checking...

Stay cool and
