Solitude

I have been practicing painting water in WC and have started this painting over again. Meanwhile, "rivers" are the monthly project for October on Watercolor Workshop; so I decided to post this one and then try another.

Blind Pears

Credit on this one goes to Dorena Kerry for use of her photo.

Juicy June

I don't do bugs, well okay I've made an exception. This is an unusually juicy style for me; yikes I had to give up control.

Golden Tree Nymph WC

My thanks to June Damanti for allowing me to use her gorgeous photo as a reference for this painting. Please take a look at June's website for a mini vacation: http://www.bydamanti.com/

When I saw her photo I was so impressed with the macro perspective and gorgeous color I yearned to get out the watercolors.

"Favour" makes the Homepage of WcW

I am proud to announce that this painting is being featured on Yahoo's Watercolor Workshop - Homepage - for the month of June. That is such an honor and of course a boost to my ego as well. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WatercolorWorkshop/

Favour

Thanks to Vicki Greene for another lovely photo; this was sent out for my SWAP group this time. I loved painting this and hope to do it again soon.
