Jeremiah One Eleven

"Jeremiah One Eleven & Twelve"

SOLD!  For prints visit Fine Art America

I enjoyed doing this painting and can't wait to frame it. I haven't felt that way about my art for a long time. These are almond blossoms, painted from a photo taken by Roger Brown. Thank you Roger.

Jeremiah 1:11-12 "Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen; for I will hasten my word to perform it."

Spring Romance

Prints are available at Fine Art America. Let me know if you are interested in the original.

Valentine Roses

Dennis gave me pink roses between our anniversary and valentines day; they inspired me to paint roses and after seeing a photo by Michiel Thomas, he graciously allowed me to use it as a painting reference.

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.

Time to Celebrate

My Dahlia painting "Peace" that I did some time ago has taken 1st place and BEST OF SHOW with the National Art Program at Bethesda Hospital in St. Paul. I am overjoyed and most grateful. Thank you to my Son Brent who encouraged me to do this and works for the Health East System.

Gerbera Daisy

Inspired by Vicki Green's photo, this Gerbera called to me to fulfill a "pink" project for Yahoo's Watercolor Workshop. this painting (a 5 x 7) was gifted to Michelle H. for our Feb. SWAP.

"Grace"

I am happy to post this floral, I had such a great time working on it. My thanks go to my friend Peter Nyllet for graciously allowing me to paint this; when I saw the photo I was drawn to it.

English Dogwood

Thank you Vicki G for allowing me to use your photo.

Pink Trio

Watercolor painted from a photograph by Liz West; thank you Liz

Blown Away

When Maureen said that she was "blown away" at seeing these flowers, I decided to name them that because these wispy flowers wave and dance in the wind. They can be quite tall so they have strength in numbers to keep them from being totally blown down (much like us). Credit to Vicki G. for the photo.

Blue Pansies

My tribute to spring, maybe painting some spring like subjects will warm me from the inside out because it does not look like spring yet here in Minnesota.

Marsha's Peony

From a photo reference from Marsha on WcW; I've been wanting to try this Peony for quite some time; not entirely happy with the outcome, but stuck in a quest to conquor sunlight vs shadow.

Think Spring

These Apple Blossoms were mailed to Marilyn in Wisconsin; she was my SWAP partner this time.

Lily White

My SWAP painting this fall went to Susie Short. Check out Susie's site for information on her dvds, supplies and workshops.

Susie is a very accomplished artist and started the Yahoo Watercolor group I belong to: "Watercolor Workshop"

SWAP is a Yahoo group online; an acronym for Sharing with Artists Partners.

A Peony named "Faith"

It seams I'm stuck in a flower painting mode. I am getting closer to the delicate transparency I've so desired to achieve in my flowers. Watch out "roses" this is all a preparation for an all out attack on your delicate species. CP 140 lb. Arches cut to fit in a 16 x 20 frame; the original is matted behind an 11 x 14 opening.

Dublin - Polish Embassy

In September of 05 I searched the internet looking for a "shoe" photo to use for the Watercolor Workshop project. I was excited with the photo I found on the website of the Polish Embassy in Ireland. I used the photo with their permission, and to my delight they featured my painting on their website.

On the Homepage

"Amber Mums" My very first experience with painting crystal I felt that I was successful at portraying the blast of light that so fascinates me. I am grateful to Watercolor Workshop for featuring me on their Homepage all the month of October with this painting; a special thanks to Dorena Kerry for allowing me to use her photo.

Sunlit Daisy

The drama of a dark backgrond created a more contemporary look than I am used to painting; this by permission from Michel Fleury for the photo reference. The way the sun hits the petals drew me in and kept me captivated until this painting was finished. Will I ever be able to paint a flower again without a black background, well we'll see.
