I have canvas again! Yay! Thanks to my dear cousin, H. who found some on sale at Utrecht and scooped up 20, count 'em, 20 canvases in various shapes and sizes. I wish you all "caring family" of your own, what a difference it makes (...and he treated me to dinner at Outback, does it get any better?)

Yellow Irises Watercolor - SOLD

Yellow Irises
Watercolor on Arches paper, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $23.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

This one was done a bit differently. I let more flow and run happen, so it's a little more "arty" than most of my irises. I like the effect.

SOLD at $140.00, includes shipping.

This one is revised from the below:


which my sudents helped me adjust by giving me a critique. It's more sunny and pleasant now, I think. It was fun to have them give ME comments for a change.

Working on my lesson plan for Florals on Wednesday for my class, the first one was to paint and write the lesson, the second to "field test" my instructions. The color of the blooms is a rich Ultramarine blue, not as green-blue as it appears on my laptop, maybe yours too.

Oh, these are fun. I feel when I'm painting/splashing with these that I'm making wall paper. I'm not sure why, but that's what's in my head. My big brushes finally get to play.

Meandering Cows - SOLD

Meandering Cows
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $60 plus $7 shipping.

I am working on a cooperative painting for a collector who requested cows and a shade tree. Since I liked my cows on this one, I didn't want to scrap it, so I started over on another same-sized canvas, and this one is available. Peaceful, yes?

Poppy Splash - SOLD

I tried for a pristine little painting here, and ate the still life as soon as I was done, one of those big, juicy navel oranges that you see in winter.

On another note, I thought this video was worthwhile watching, about Edgar Payne.
