Applecations

22x13 watercolor demo done a little over a year ago of apples drawn from life then stacked vertically with overlapping shapes, different colors, and negative painting.  The demo was for my studio workshop group.

Lounge Lizard

22x20 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper.  I took a photo of a regular cat and made him pink, green and yellow on a red orange lounge chair.

January Snow

5x7 watercolor of first of the year snow along a country road.  The sun has come out and promised clearer skies for those who wait.

Peppermint Blossom

10x14 watercolor of a white peony and its variegated red and pink petals.  This was painted wet in wet on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper.  This painting is SOLD.

Old Goat Cart

22x15 watercolor painted wet in wet on Saunders 300 lb cold press paper from an old New Mexico scene in a southwest style patio.  The cart was loaded with potted plants and vividly colored annuals such as geraniums.  I particularly like the long diagonal shadows of the vigas.

Last One in's a Rotten Egg

12x24 watercolor imaginary scene of myself far left and two cousins playing in the lake when we were younger.  Those were the days!
"The last one in is a rotten egg!" you could hear us yelling as we ran to jump off the dock into the cold water of Lake JB Thomas.

Pauline's Teapot and Peonies - still life

15x22 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper, a still life set up with china teapot, a gold pitcher of white peonies, and green gold scarf on a dark grey blue table.
