Abandoned

watercolor: art 18-3/4 x 27-3/4 framed 29 x 38

Saturday I had 3 gallery openings that I was requested to be at. Unfortunately, I only made one of the openings, but I did win the Curator's Award for this painting and I was there for this opening. That always encourages an artist to keep on doing what they love to do so much.

Painting the Birdie

watercolor 5 x 7

Here is a little study of Kathy painting on location. I am going to miss those summer days. It has been so cold and rainy here this past week. Will there be an Indian Summer? If it stays like this, I will not be getting those corn stalks or mums.

Mini Fall Dunes II

watercolor 5 x 7 framed 8 x 10 $75

Here is another fall dunes. This is the same area as the painting from yesterday. Our Indiana dunes are so pretty anytime of the year. I am so blest to live so close to them (Lake Michigan). These two would make a nice pair and they are matted and framed the same. Enjoy!

Mini Fall Dunes I

watercolor 5 x 7 / framed 8 x 10 $75

I decided to go and do some more of those little 5 x 7 paintings. These will probably be the ones that will be selling for gifts this holiday season. They sold well at the art fair.
Fall is in the air so ... thought I would stop painting the leaves and paint the whole tree. Enjoy!

Class Demo-Fall Leaves

Ok, this is it. The last of the leaf paintings. This was also a demo and I even challenged myself by limiting my palette, changing the colors that I use and keeping it a bit higher in key than I normally paint. I thought the teal and the peachy orange work well together.
Just finished a new painting tonight. Will look at it tomorrow (or should I say later today) to see what it looks like with a fresh eye.
Kathy has left the studio!

Class Demo-Leaves I

watercolor 7 x 11 SOLD

This was a little study to show my students how to paint negative leaves in a positive way. It is so much fun to teach this and no two painting come out alike. It is an assignment where they are not looking at any photographs of leaves. They really have to concentrate. I couldn't even paint two the same if I wanted to with this technique.

Sunset Dunes

watercolor 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 with mat and frame 8x10 $100

This is one that I did for the miniature show for the art center. Time to start painting a bit bigger.
