Balls, Birds, and Branches

9.5 x 18 inches on Strathmore watercolor paper 140 lb cold press. This is my Merry Christmas to all of you artists and bloggers who have followed and supported me this year 2010. Here's to an even better year!

Ringie Dingie Santa - a card a day

7x5 watercolor painted this afternoon in about 45 minutes of a toy village Santa featured on WetCanvas Weekend Drawing Event; the challenge began earlier than the weekend due to Christmas. This might be my last card a day. If so I hope all of you have a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!

Meltdown Magic

22x15 watercolor of a melting but happy snowman I painted from imagination a few years ago during my snowman series. Hope you like his animal magic, too!

Evergreen Santa - another card a day

Heeeeere's a green Santa for you! He is decked out in woodland finery and ready for a green Christmas at 11 x 7.5 inches watercolor painted yesterday in the cool pines of New Mexico.

Polar Snow - Christmas Card a Day

About 5x8, watercolor painted yesterday while here in the cool mountains where residents are wishing for snow! This fellow is about to take his nap on a snowbank.

Artsy Santa on Yupo

Here's another Christmas one for you, an artsy Santa painted on synthetic paper Yupo. I drew him from a tiny figurine which looks nothing like this image on 1/2 sheet, 22x15 inches.

Meltdown - a Christmas card a day

11x8.5 watercolor of two happy and silly snowmen facing a sunny day outdoors. Little do they know they are slowly becoming one with the earth again.

Christmas Card a Day: Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

7.5x11 watercolor painted this afternoon for my card-a-day project. The wall behind my neighbor's yellow lab is more light green than shows here. With his red cushion in front of the green wall he is ready for holiday company.

Red Bird in Snow - card a day

5x7 watercolor of an imaginary bird who is not claiming to be a cardinal. He is just a plain red bird enjoying his winter wonderland, and another in my series of a Christmas card a day. I splattered white paint when done to resemble snowflakes.

Under the Tree - a card a day project

Yesterday I began the start of this new one then finished up today in a Christmas card a day endeavor am not sure I can do for 25 more days! It measures 5.75 x 7.25 inches on Strathmore paper.

Little Bluebird

7x5 watercolor, another in my Christmas card a day project that has started to become an obsession. Look what you started, Stephie! Now I can't stop.

My Christmas Card Today: Snowbird

7.25 x 5.25 inches of this cute fella bundled up waiting for cold weather and the chill factor to drop. He is my card for today so don't have a clue what tomorrow's subject will be. Birds and cats lately, though, have been it.
