Crow Master rooster

11x8.5 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper, drawn and painted over the weekend for an online exercise with WetCanvas! Using my iPad, I flipped the white rooster image then used a summer filter to make him more colorful with vivid yellow gold and gamboge feathers.  Blue Bice by American Journey are the opaque turquoise blue areas for cool touches in a warm temperature painting.  No masking was used for his tiny feathers above his eye.  The larger the wattle and comb, the more females he can attract.

Woven Flowers of Passion

15x22 work is actually two identically painted scenes of pink roses in front of a house. The original was ho-hum boring so a few years late...
