Time For a Break

watercolor 7 x 11 - Still Life

This is my challenge for this week's Daily Paintworks. We were supposed to paint our favorite mug for tea and coffee. Since I do not drink either, I decided to paint my Pepsi glass. Love using this goblet because of the stem, it will not sweat and get my table wet:) And I had to add a few munchies since I am not a starving artist. Take time.....

Chagrin Falls

watercolor 14 x 21

Went on a little trip to Ohio a few weeks and was out and about with my camera. I ended up in this little town called Chagrin Falls and I found their river and not much of the falls at this point. But I did like the bridge and thought it would be good subject matter for a painting. Enjoy!!

Fall Round Barn

watercolor 14 x 21

Here is another version of the round barn that I did as a winter scene. It's fun to change the palette with a new season. And, fall will be here before you know it.

Round Barn in Winter

watercolor 14 x 21

I was asked to paint this round barn for a winery. It was alot of fun, but was really wierd to paint snow in the summer. It did cool me off a bit :) I do paint seasonally so I should be painting flowers.
Stay cool!

Hydrangea

watercolor 7 x 11

This was last week's challenge for the daily paintworks. We had to go outside and paint something from the ground. We were only allowed to use Ultramarine Blue, Cadimun Red and Cadimun Yellow. It was a fun assignment. We were only allowed 1 hour. It took me 5 minutes to do a quick sketch, and then 25 minutes to paint it. Enjoy!!
