it's always fun to play with new stuff


 Here's the little color chart
for the Cretacolor Aqua Monoliths

I also did a large one with 3 different applications of the colors
dry , water brush and wet paper.
Had a little fun and did a greeting card for my sister in law.



I can see I'll be enjoying these for a quite awhile - the creamy texture is wonderful 
and they are mostly transparent.
I painted over the numbers on the chart  ;^)

By the Sea


Well it used to be!

Now it's part of my collection.

It doesn't remind me of the Bahamas and the sun and sand and coral but it does make me yearn for conch fritters!

Sun setting even now


It isn't raining at this moment and the sun is going down. Just over an hour of day left, wishful thinking? Sure!
Bad news for all you guys back east...weather headed your way and I heard the "S" word!

What's the story?














Yes it is...Morning Glory! Yet another watercolor greeting card, measuring 5x7 and blank inside. Mail it to a flower lover or mat and frame and keep it for yourself.

How Soon?


It rained again today. That can only mean one thing, there's snow falling in higher elevations.

How soon will it look like this?

Another 5x7 greeting card suitable for framing or sending to someone special.

Fall Greetings


So many sunflowers are hanging their heavy heads. Another sign of the season, loaded with seeds and tempting all the birds.

Back in greeting card mode and getting ready for a show.

Boys and their toys...

Back to greeting card mode and they seem to get a little more involved. Little boys grow into big boys and are looking at big toys.

Not sure what the deal is with a 57 vette now. I sure thought they were great when I was a kid and actually like them better than what goes for a vette now.

Closest I got was a 65 corvair with treacherous dual carb. White with red interior and tons of fun to drive.





Wasn't sure I'd get these done in time...

Everything was going nicely...


I was on a roll...painting greeting cards and managing to do more keepers than throw aways.
Perfect season to do a little grape still life. I bought 5 lbs of them because they were so beautiful and tasty, too.

I just plunked a small bunch on my table to draw and paint. Everything was going quite nicely until I got a little hungry.

So, the bunch got a little smaller.

I put the first wash on and the bunch got a little smaller.

Well, I had them pictured in my mind so I didn't really need them all to finish the painting.

The bunch got really small and the pile of the little bits of stem got bigger.

As I finished the painting, I looked for the grapes and they were gone! Good thing I captured them in a little painting.

Just Hanging Around


Here's a still life...why not? The acorns have been plunking all over the deck and bouncing on the roof luring the squirrels. As long as they're just hanging around I might as well use them for a greeting card.

One more down and still more to go.

Thanks for stopping by, see you later!
