"Happy Papavers"

8" x 10"  watercolor  SOLD

As the masking fluid spilled onto the tablecloth, I thought to myself, "better get that up quickly before it dries," and I dripped what liquid I could into the bottle.  Next I grabbed a piece of paper and laid it over the rest of the wet masking. 
I let that paper dry and painted around the masking, making delicate flower and leaf patterns.  When I pulled the dried masking off, I had a beautiful, loose, lacey rendition of lovely flowers.  I added a few strokes and leaves and stems. Once in a while the worst condition works out!

"Angel and Winter Roses"

11" x 10.5"  watercolor   $55.00

Angels spend some of their precious time bringing color to the winter landscape, by strewing roses on the crisp white snow.  Then they waft away and wait for the collectors to come and exclaim in surprise over the treasure they have found.
