Irish Wispy

8" x 10"  watercolor  $120.00  unframed

This small but exquisite painting was begun as a demo in one of my Wednesday morning classes and finished later.
When painting from a photo, you have to imagine the roundness of that head.  This little one has wispy hair that attracted me to paint her, using some masking and some negative space to achieve this look.  The best thing about working from a photo is that it doesn't move, and you can still be as creative with it as you wish. 

Breakthrough

10.5" x 14"  watercolor   SOLD

There is so much blue in the sky and so much light in the sunlit clouds that I can never decide where to stop and start.  I love our world and sort of imagine the mysteriousness. 

This was a late evening shot from my back deck. Now it looks like an early evening shot from somewhere else.

I really enjoyed making the clouds and mountains float and disappear against the sky horizon.

"Echinacea Gone Wild"

30 x 40 acrylic on streched canvas, framed   $750.00

Painted last year in the late summer when echinacea is in bloom and thriving.   Also known as the cone flower.  I think they look like ballerinas in pink tutus.
