February landscape

11x15 watercolor snow scene of one cold day in February.  This is painted on Italia acquerello 140 lb cold press paper, Daniel Smith paints.

Valentine Tulips

15x9.5 watercolor on Waterford 140 lb cold press paper.  This is an older work that I experimented with by adding torn rice paper collaged to it that was stamped with ink text.  Red tulips were a Valentine's Day gift from my husband, so I drew them from life.

Longnecks: Flamingos in Love

12x9 watercolor of two romantic flamingos whose heads and necks actually form a heart shape when they move closer together.

Eggstra-ordinary Hen

11x15 watercolor on Italia 140 lb cold press paper, Daniel Smith paints.  It has been quite a long time since painting one of my fun yet funky chickens with an attitude.  In this vignette, the hen seems to be cackling at her three eggs or at something else beyond the coop.

Roses for Valentine's Day

14 3/4 x 15 watercolor of romantic red roses just in time for a romantic Valentine's Day.  If you get these lovelies to give to your sweetheart they will last forever; the wine is waiting to be poured.

Feline Groovy

12x9 watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper, Daniel Smith paints.  After doing a loose splashy underpainting I let the soft pastel hues dry, then drew over that an outline of my grey tabby Chuy.  The abstract underpainting can be seen within the cat's body while in front he nestles against colorful patterned pillows.

Hollyhocks Over the Fence

5 3/4 x 7 watercolor, an imaginary made up scene of multicolored hollyhocks spilling over white picket fence posts.
