SWS 50th Annual Membership Watercolor Show

Ellie

 

I found out today that this painting got in the SWS Show.
(Southwestern Watercolor Society -Dallas)
 I am a signature member, but is always exciting to get in a juried show.
 Jean Grastorf was the juror and I am so thrilled she let this one in!

This is done on 300 lb hot press watercolor paper and I enjoy working on it.
 I like the soft look you can get with it.

Some New Sketches

These are just some new sketches I have done this week

. Kathy's Chickens, Cloudcroft, Olds, Saddle, Rhino, License Tag, and McBee. 

 These were done with the Ink and Tombow marker. 

Piano

This is a new collage that I did this week end. It is 12x12, and I enjoyed doing it so much,

 I am thinking about doing a large one. I love black and white!

It is available.

The Cowgirl

This was painted from one of the photos I took back in April,

at our neighbor's branding.  This cowgirl is 14 and she was working

as hard as the men. roping and flanking the calves. I was impressed with

her knowledge! Her little sister was working along side her notching ears.

It is a long time family tradition and I was so excited to get to be there and

watch and photo.

 

The Powell Ranch

 

Today a friend and I went out to the Powell Ranch North of Plains,

(They aren't kin to us-but good friends) and sketched some of his old buildings

his Granddad built years ago. It is such a fun place to see, so many old historical barns and corrals.

I really love the little tiny red building but didn't do it justice, maybe next time!

It's probably about 6 feet tall, and has the neatest old door knobs.  I may have to draw it next.

It is very different drawing from life vs a photo. I can see a lot of things that should be different, but

that's the fun of just sketching. The gate in real life is just awesome.  So weathered, and had such character, and I didn't do it justice either. It was a fun 2 hours!
