"Winter's A Glowing" Step-by-step

watercolor 14 x 21

Here is a painting that I recently completed and as I painted it I took photos of each step. This way you will see my process. I hope you enjoy it. I think each photo speaks for itself so I did not add any text for each photo. If you have any questions, fire away. I tried to keep the photos looking the same from frame to frame...but I am a painter not a photographer.
Enjoy and Happy Painting!!

Winter's Lace

watercolor 14 x 21

I wanted to capture the lacy look that I thought the trees created. This photo that I worked with was from our trip out shooting (clicking) last Sunday. Glad we went last week. That 20" of snow is all gone...it has rained all day today. Come on spring...
More snow scenes to come.....

Valentine Flowers

watercolor 14 x 21

My dear hubby brought home this beautiful bouquet of flowers in a red vase for me for Valentine's Day. It had lilies, carnations, and roses. It also had a heart necklace wrapped around it. When he gave it to me, he said...."Now you can paint the red rose." Is he sweet or what. And, today is his birthday...it's a big one.

Snow Dunes Demo

Simply Radishing

14 x 21 watercolor

This is the fourth in my cherry series. They have been a lot of fun to do. People are still asking how do I paint the backgrounds. No, it is not acrylic or black gesso. It is Holbein transparent watercolor. They have been a challenge to do and as artists, we need to constantly challenge ourselves.

I had a workshop in my studio today and it was fun getting together with all of my students. Regular classes will begin March 2. Hope to see you then.....
