Daisies Among the Tongues and Cactus

11" x 14"  watercolor  $100.00

An all day still life class project in October 2012. My students were amazing! Although I did not get photos of their work, I was so happy with their outcomes. So were they! Our subject was an odd combination of mother-in-laws tongues, Christmas cactus and gerbera daisies. Ann had not ever used watercolor before, yet her composition and blending were perfect. Beth had never done a wet in wet before, and her painting was like music.

Memories #1

8.5" x 10.5"   watercolor  $100.00

My daughter sent me these tulips during Christmas and they so brightened my day!  I decided that I have enough beautiful photos of arrangements that I must get busy and see if I can paint them all.  Some are from making bouquets at church from my friend Elaines's garden.  We would go pick them on Sat. morning for nearly 8 years.  The pleasure of being with a master gardener in the dewy morning, cutting dozens of tall flowers, and quickly putting them into fresh pails of water is heady. Their fragrances were astonishing!  What a gift!  I savor these amazingly beautiful experiences with a great woman of honor, delight, humor, and care.  

Suspended Whites

12.5" x 10"  watercolor    $100.00

In the spring along the untended hillsides are these lovely floaty poppies growing on spikey stems and it is almost time.  I think in a couple of weeks we will be spying them.  I can hardly contain myself.  They are one thing the deer do not prefer.  Everything else is already being slurped up as the greeens pop through the ground.  

Oops I shouldn't be complaining.

Bluebird Breakfast

10" x 9"  watercolor  $100.00

Breakfast outdoors is for the birds and squirrels isn't it?  We like biscuits and blueberries with a pitcher of milk.  Our friends do too. When the summer is here and the shade is cool on the porch life is perfect.  Saying hello to nature and to you!  Chirp chirp!  Or should I say, "Tweet tweet"?

Bear Sitting

10" X 14"  watercolor  $100.00

Mama bear and baby bear relaxing and watching for their next meal.   This is a study for a demo Sunday April 28, 1 - 4 at Bancroft Park in Old Colorado City.  The demo will be slightly different with 3 bears on 24" x 36" canvas in acrylic.   Proceeds from the auction will go to make enhancements to the park.  

There will be 5 demo artists; Jan Oyler, Larry Haught, Dick Williams, Lori Watry and myself all painting.  Come and take your chance to purchase a really nice painting from one of us.  

Sunflowers and Stripes

10' X 11'  watercolor   $95.00

  In a gallery high on the 4th floor, brimming with good northern light, sunflowers were aranged in a giant pot.  I remember thinking how the day was so warm and being thankful for friends and family.  I can never get enough of their love, hugs and comradry, can you?  I want to dedicate 1/2 of the proceeds of  this painting to all who are hungry,  in war zones or who are unprotected and vulnerable.   I love you, whoever you are.
