Lacey Spring-demo

watercolor
14" x 21"
landscape
$150


This was a demo that I did for one of my classes last week. I took a value sketch that I had sketched a while ago. It was actually a winter scene but since spring is in the air, I took my artistic license and made it a spring scene. Enjoy!

This is actually a funeral home in Ohio. It was cream in color, but I took my artistic license and this is how I see it :) enjoy. By the way, this was all painted with a #13 round brush. I even signed my name with it.

No Weddings Today-Deep River Park, Indiana

watercolor
14" x 21"
landscape


This is a painting that I did last month and I am finally getting to posting it. It is a local park area where the water mill is at (a previous post). It is a lovely gazebo and many weddings are performed here and many brides just come to this area to have photos taken. There is a lovely river here, too. It's a great place for picnics. I plan to bring a class here to do plein air painting. Come on to Indiana...there is so much to see.

Light House II - class demo


watercolor
seascape
14 x 21

This is the demo painting that I did for one of my Wednesday classes last week. This week 2 of the classes will be painting their light houses and then the other Wednesday class will be painting a barn. Next week hopefully they will have them finished so that we can have a big critique in each class. I like to give them a topic and see what they come up with. Part of being an artist is researching the subject matter.

Did you see the little man on the rocks? Is he looking at the birds or is he ready to jump....he is actually JUMBY with a head. lol. How many remember Gumby and Pokey?

I still have to do this week's challenge on the dailypaintworks site. Watch for it.

Heading Back Home

watercolor
14" x 21"
landscape


This is a very common scene about 2 hours from my home. I had taken this photo of the buggy in the fall, I had a photo of a street scene and I made up the composition and the farm area. It is fun to have an artistic license.

These are some boats that really needed to be painted (play on words). They were actually near the area where the previous dock painting was pauinted from.
