Orange Rudbeckia

This brilliantly hued orange rudbeckia was growing in another pot beside the urn behind so I've positioned it actually in front of the urn. Finished today, it is 17x20watercolor and painted wet in wet then wet on dry. I was at the Casa Decor Mexican import store in Ruidoso, NM when I shot the photo; small pink and magenta vinca also lend their helping hand.

Sissinghurst England

15x11 watercolor on hot press paper of the well known building at Sissinghurst in the UK, where we visited last May and June.
Many painters have rendered their version of this popular place.

Polly Parrot

10 x 8 watercolor on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper, painted wet on wet in my hotel room from one of my Puerto Rican parrot photos.
I used Prang watercolors.

By the Sea porch scene

16x12 watercolor of a nice comfy wicker chair, a bouquet of hydrangeas, and a plate of lemon squares by the imaginary sea, just enjoying the last of the warm weather.

White Barns

7.5x11 watercolor landscape rural scene of barn and outbuildings all painted white.  Landscapes are not my forte but every now and again enjoy painting one, especially country farms that truly show our American roots.

Bike Sale

10.5 x 5.5 watercolor wash over Micron 01 pen drawing of a bikes scene. I chose a strip of Saunders paper that had tan and other colors left on it after I cropped it off a larger piece. You can see those marks on the right side.  Part of a contest on WetCanvas! many more bikes reference courtesy Bonnie; challenge was to do a wash over line.

Hot Date poppy

Hot fiery oranges and reds grace this macro poppy view in a dynamic watercolor floral.  22x15 on cold press 140 lb paper.
