The Barn

It seems I taken a little vacation from this blog and haven't posted on it in the last couple of weeks. Well I have started painting watercolors again. Here is the latest one that I just finished.  It is from a photo provided by my Painting Friend, Lil from WC ref file. Thankyou Lil and Wet Canvas. I painted this for a value study we are doing in our Painting Friends forum. I wish I had gotten the sides where the sun is hitting just a little lighter, so more contrast. This is watercolor done on Arches 140 cp, 11"by 14". I hope this doesn't bring to many bad memories of the snow last winter for the folks up north.  Thanks for viewing everyone and let me know what you think.

The Bouquet

Hi

   Tuesday hubby and son were off playing golf and GD Kelcey was on facebook, so I had some free time.   For the inspiration I used a photo from WC.  I decided on no drawing for this painting.  I started the painting at the top, using water to paint with then dropping in the color. Letting them run and bleed together.  I enjoyed trying this looser style for a change.  Please enjoy this summer bouquet.

Happy 'Rooms to Paint

Good Morning to Everone

   At this time of year in my area it seems mushrooms jump up all over.  Everywhere you look you can see these little fellows basking in the sun.    They are mostly a lovely white color but I decided this time to do them in rich colors.   So here they are facing the sun saying what a great day this is.
   I am having a wonderful week as my son Eamonn and my oldest granddaughter Kelcey are here.  Not a lot of art being done but a lot a beach going with our with high temps.
   This is watercolor on Arches 140cp block.

 Thanks everyone for looking and commenting. 

Pink

  Happy Friday to everyone.  I thought I would share my latest watercolor painting with all of you.  Besides really liking pansies, roses and daisies I also like to paint irises. For my inspiration I used this  beautiful photo provided in Wet Canvas by Janezel, thankyou.  We are having a beautiful blue sky day and I feel this painting matches this type of day to a tee. Thanks everyone for looking and please leave comments..Cause I love to read them.
