Nesters - Birds in Broken Clay Pot

15x22 watercolor on Lanaquarelle 140 lb hot press paper of two birds nesting inside broken clay pot.  I had first painted this close up of tiny items a few years ago then took the painting and redid its main areas.  The tiny birds and pot nestle inside a larger clay pot holding a topiary from a florist.  With my camera I shot a macro view for art purposes; the birds are actually made of mushrooms so I had to make them appear realistic.

Green Wicker Chair with Geraniums

20x26 watercolor on Yupo medium weight synthetic paper. Painted over the weekend off and on, this patio scene is saying Spring! pretty loud and clear. I've done this old warped wicker chair many times in many mediums but not on Yupo.

The White Rabbit or The One I Let Get Away

Here is my little ceramic bean bag bunny in his clown suit sitting in my sunny window still life, a full sheet 22x30 inches watercolor. I painted this a number of years ago and it was my first painting to be published in Christopher Willard's book Color Mixing a 12 Hue Method. It won several Best of Show awards but I sold it and now it is known as the one that got away. But I took lots of photos when I set the still life up at our first house so should get them out and get to work. Since it is almost bunny time (Spring, remember?) thought you might like to see this.
