Refrigerator Art

Watercolor on Dominoes

Bamboo Tiles

It was fun painting on a small surface for a change

these are all magnets suitable for fridge display

sealed with a clear acrylic to protect the painting.

colorizing?

better than a coloring book...

so how do I seal them?

metal impressions...

thinking about adding color...

Coming Down...

 I haven't gone anywhere lately 

at least not anywhere with a good view

so I decided to paint

a couple postcards

to make me feel like I'd been away.

I love this paper and when I found a block of postcards,

I was thrilled.

Ready for a note and address, too!

OLD and in the way?

 Ages ago, the Buffalo Zoo had an ancient tortoise with a saddle. If you were lucky, like me, you got a turtle ride!
A relatively safe excursion for a small child, actually kinda boring and uneventful.
There's even a chance you'd saddle up and stand still.
It's still a fond memory and how many people can say they rode a turtle? Really?
"Old..."

Retreat

As a kid I was only allowed one pet. No fur or feathers and small enough to reside in my room were the other restrictions.
Fish are nice to look at but you can't take them out to play.
I got a turtle at the 5 and dime along with a plastic bowl with a ramp and plastic palm tree.
Well, here I am all these years later in this painting holding my pet. Yes he's pulled himself back into his shell but just for the moment :D

Retreat

potraiture?

in my face
Time for a change...where have I heard that?

Here's a formal portrait in memory of a dear friend and companion Tomorrow my red eared slider. At least I caught him with his mouth closed and eyes open.

He didn't exactly snore but did greet me with a breathy "AAH".
