Transparent glass

I just finished this one and took it to the framers. It turned out ok I think. I want to do more glass - reflections. Very complex.

3 crocus

Fun little painting. I Love crocus. They are first to bloom in the spring. Have more to paint

Name's Chuck

I'm finding I love to paint animals. They are especially challenging, and there are so many elements to them. Eyes, fur and color. This guy I call Chuck. I found that once I had his eyes, the rest was fairly easy. Hope you like. He was so fun to do.

Cool Quail

Cool quail. Love painting birds.

Scooby

Does this face make you smile?

Poinsettias are one of my favorite flower to paint. This one I cann "The Drama Queen" I think all the rich reds and the dark darks make this painting very good.

Hydrangia

I did this a while back using acrylics. It was so fun and easy to do, but I still really love watercolor.

Little Carly

This painting I just finished, and am glad to be moving on. Portraits are challenging, and little ones especially so. Those little eyes were probably the hardest, but those stars on the flag were also not so much fun. Anyway here she is all done, and I'm moving on to something else. More portraits probably.

Another in my Why I Love Florida series

Another why I love Florida. Shoes are not an option. Flip flops are the way to go!!

Tin Man

You just gotta love this guy. How fun he was to paint. I used a photo by a friend of mine, Leisa Walker. The splatter is a little much, but the grasshopper is right on!! Lots of fun to do.

Introducing Vienna and Olivia

These little sweeties are 3 months old. They are fraternal twins, belong to a co-worker of mine. I so wanted to paint them, as I haven't had much luck painting babies. Their skin is so fragile, and hard to capture. This one is done. I learned so much, but see some things that are not quite right. They are so cute tho.

Loose Poppies

Loose poppies

Hibiscus painting

Hibiscus flowers are my favorite, and I enjoyed painting this one. Leisa Walker graciously let me use a photo she had taken for this one. Thanks Leisa. I hope to do one in yellow.

Tiny hand

This painting is called "Tiny Hand" - One of the most challenging paintings I have done to date. So many things to remember, skin color, lights and darks and shape. I'm really going to have to do more of these, because they are so fun to do.

Two Boats

Painting done in a Workshop with Joe Garcia. Love the scene. Hope to do another one soon.
