AMY IN MEXICO... Watercolor...

Kathryn and I decided to get that
"warm feeling"
that our friend, Amy is experiencing in Mexico. Poor thing is there for the winter months...
Two views of the same picture.
Hopefully my next post will be acrylics.
We are taking a class at Great Basin College, from a well know artist,
Ron Arthaud
You can see some of his work at

WINTER SUNSET...Watercolor...

Looks like a new painting because Kathryn said it was time...Guess a month is tooooooo long to wait before something different .
Winter is my favorite season, but snow and shadows certainly need to be practice.
I like this picture. It is the second time I tried this.
Maybe have to try it again.

LOTUS FLOWER,,for Holiday card..,Watercolor...

Been awhile since the last post...
Seems like time just flies by..Holidays are upon us and there is much to be done..
Am using this painting for my card this year..Probably the composition could be better, but as they say, it is what it is..

Hope you have

PEACE AND HAPPINESS

That's what the Chinese characters mean on the painting..

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.
