Dry Desert Icons
30x22 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper painted earlier in the month. I have painted this southwest landscape mission more than once and in different ways. Seagulls in acrylic are on the reverse side. With the imaginary saguaro cactus flanking the tall mission bell tower, the bottom part beckons you to come on inside.

Heehaw Donkeys
12x9 watercolor on Bristol 300 series 100 lb paper done last month, another donkey painting in my series using my older photos from a farm south of town. They seem to be saying HeeHaw! as loud as possible and are such clowns of the animal world.

So Glad
8x8 watercolor floral on Masters Touch painted in February as part of class exercises with gladioli or gladiolus blooms. This one was an imaginary white flower I have added Sennelier colors to beginning with darks first. Also I used Daniel Smith's Moonglow.
