Radiant Rose - Daily Painting

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

Radiant Rose - 9.5″ x 7.5″ watercolor.
Almost every day for the past five weeks or so, my dh and I have been taking walks of a half hour or an hour - within about 5-10 miles of our area. The benefits of this extra activity is many-fold. Not only do I feel healthier […]

California Poppies

Friday, April 27th, 2007

California poppies - 11 x 15 quarter sheet watercolor
SOLD
Come April, drifts of poppies, our state flower, burst into bloom in everyone’s yard. These cheerful blooms start to close around 4 pm, but in the middle of the day they are glorious.

Dawn Fishing

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

“Dawn Fishing” - 11 x 15 watercolor - SOLD
After a landscape or two that were quite giddy with fauve color, here’s one in a quieter more contemplative mood. Fishing friends through the years have told me that dawn and twilight are the best times for fishing. Except, of course if […]

Yellow Rose sketch

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

Sketchbook Rose - 7 x 10
While I work on some larger projects to prepare some paintings for shows, here’s a page from a Canson Montval sketchbook with a full blown Descanso rose. I didn’t spend a lot of time working on the subtle turn of each petal and leaf - I […]

Cat Heaven

Friday, April 20th, 2007

“Cat Heaven” 8in x 12 in - watercolor on 140# Fabriano paper
SOLD
Auction will begin at 4 pm Pacific Time Friday - Click to bid

The theme of this months’ Nibblefest is “doorways” or “open doors” and I had the idea of painting a door open onto a beautiful garden. […]

Looks Like Rain

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

We’re hoping it will be rain, that is. Tonight we may see showers and tomorrow there’s a 90% chance of real, honest to God RAIN. This has been the driest winter in recent years which means the fire danger will be even more extreme as the sparse bits of grass and growth on the hillside […]

­ Another 20 min pose

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

I was so tired when I got back last night (ow, my back) that I forgot one of the 20 min poses. Throughout the evening I changed my drawing tool just to see what it was like to work bigger, smaller, with graphite, carbon pencil, charcoal, etc. After all, the purpose was learning and practice, […]

­ Life Drawing

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

One of my plans and commitments for art for 2007 was to find a life drawing session not too far away. I went to one session last year, but the venue lost its lease and has yet to find a new building. So the search was on for a new one and I liked this […]

Stormy River

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

Stormy River 10 x 13 watercolor
Here’s a landscape in a darker mood from a photo I took down in the arroyo last fall.
The inspiration photo is posted below. What I painted as a turbulent river with Class 5 rapids was really just a little pool coming out of a drainage […]

Sycamore Creek

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

Sycamore Creek - 11 x 15 - watercolor on 140# paper
Now this is a little more my speed. Some abstraction and impressionism, but some realism, too. I painted this picture twice today. The first one used more glazing, more overlapping patches of color in the main tree. I put that aside and […]
