Nature's Daisies watermedia collage

15x22 watercolor that had color dropped on its Saunders surface then negatively painting around to save whites.  Multiple leaves and stems followed then collage rice paper elements added last.

Moth Orchids - phalaenopsis

15x11 watercolor on Arches 140 lb hot press paper of white moth orchids against a splashy abstract background.  I tried to incorporate stems and petals into the direct washes or just a suggestion of those forms.

Peppermint Parrot Tulips

15x22 watercolor painted wet in wet on 140 lb cold press paper; this peppermint red & white tulip and the red ones were in a hotel floral arrangement I photographed on a trip to Dallas.

Little Mollie kitten

5.5x9 inches watercolor pet portrait on Strathmore 140 lb paper, Daniel Smith paints.  This is Elaine's kitten from WetCanvas and she is featured on this weekend drawing event.  I used a black and white copy of her photo to paint this in about 45 minutes.

Old Buffalo Resting

7.5 x 9.5 gouache and Caran D'Ache over ink sketch posted a few days ago.  This is on matboard and ink is Elegant Writer pen.  I decided the old bull needed color so added it in a vignette style.

Sierra Shadows

5.5 x 7 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper from one of my Lincoln National Forest Sierra Blanca photos.  It was started yesterday and finished today.  This was an autumn snowfall a few years ago and I'd hiked to the top with my camera looking for subjects to paint.  Plein air that morning was too cold!

Las Palmas

22x15 watercolor of the palms at Arizona Golf Resort and building; this painting is SOLD.
