SWS Watercolor Society Show

'On Ice' got into the Southwestern Watercolor Society 52 Annual Show.  it will be in Richardson TX in September.  This was a fun painting. I used a large brush...size 38...and ink.

Keri's Jacks

I still have Keri's Jacks and Kenley's Marbles they played with when they were little.
This was a fun poured painting.  I put them on a piece of watercolor paper and set them in the late afternoon sun to get the shadows. 

Poured Painting

This is another poured  painting. I haven't named it yet!

the background got really dark but it makes the white pop!

This is 1/2 Sheet.

Cement Man

We just got a new fence a couple weeks ago, and this is a painting of one of the men who poured the footing. He is a young man who had his really cute dog with him.  I ask him if i could take a photo, and he basically posed like he had done it a gillion times before!
This is poured using 6 colors on arches paper. it is 1/2 Sheet.
This was a lot of fun to do!

Brownfield TX

This old station building is in Brownfield TX. Every time I go through there, I have to look for it, and see what the shadows look like!  This is poured instead of being painted with a brush. I still may do some tweaking on it.  Once its poured, you have to work with what you have. It is quite a challenge.  I really like the texture you get with this technique.  I thought my first pouring was too dark, but by going even darker under the drive way, it seemed to work.  This is 1/2 sheet so it is large. 22x28 framed.

Steller App

 I found a new app...Called Steller
It is a lot of fun! you might want to try it.
This is a little book of my wildflower photos.

Sketching at the Rock'n N B and B-Plains TX

 Saturday was the day to go out to the B and B and pick your own Lavender. It was a gorgeous day!
I stayed about 4 hours, taking photos and sketching.  It is such a fun place to be.  Lots to see....and smell!

This is a side view of the house.

Fence posts with old boots!
