Breakwater – Approx 10.5″ x 5.5″ – Watercolor on paper Sometimes, instead of drawing something from life or a photo, I just like to start painting and see what emerges. This little sketch began with some large juicy strokes of dark colors, applied with a large flat brush. I leaned back and it looked like [...]
Salt Marsh 5.5″ x 8″ – oil on canvas, mounted on hardboard Oh my, it’s 11:30 pm and although I’ve spent part of today finishing up homework for my watercolor class, I didn’t get a complete painting finished yet, so I went to Wet Canvas.com and selected one of the images presented for the weekend [...]
“Two sweets” 5 1/8″ x 7 1/8″ Oil on canvas mounted on hardboard. Available. While I finish up my larger painting, here’s a little one for today – two chocolates from Trader Joes. They were presented as pralines, but they are actually milk chocolate. The red ones have an amaretto flavor, the silver ones are [...]

Yesterday we went to the Irvine Museum to see the last day of the exhibit “Majestic California.” The museum will now [...]
“Squeaky Clean” – 5″ x 7″ – oil on canvasboard Fresh off the easel … this is our upstairs bathroom soapdish, lathered up to give it a little more interest. I think it’s Irish Spring but I couldn’t be sure. The words had worn off. I thought the bubbles were going to be the most [...]
Young Hare – 4″ x 4″ watercolor on Arches paper Click to bid I had a lot of fun with this one – painting layer upon layer of very transparent glazes to build up the suggestion of fur. Many years ago, my husband and I read Watership Down at the same time, passing the book [...]
I was away for a long weekend of movies, art and photography in Palm Springs and environs. New art coming up soon, please check back later Monday after I get some things scanned. Thanks, Karen.
