Spring Flowers
Well, I was at a loss today deciding what to work on. Sometimes those days just happen, and when they did in the past, I would let it go until something caught my interest….usually the next day. But, since I’m a part of a painting a day group, I knuckle down and figure that something is better than nothing. Not a bad philosophy. So, the flowers below were painted from a photo that I took some time ago and forgot to identify on the back, so I’m not sure when and where I took it, I don’t even know what kind of flowers they are. Thus, the title: Spring Flowers. (Clever, I’d say)
Watercolor (Winson & Newton travel kit that only has 14 little blocks of color for mixing) 5 X 7 on Strathmore Watercolor Paper Sketch Book.
Think Spring!
High Desert Blooms
Location is somewhere outside of Vegas, but at a higher altitude of course. This is a soft pastel on Canson paper Size 100 X 12. Enjoy.
Weimaraner
Well, here is today’s practice….another dog….I’m not happy with the color. It should be a pinkish grey, but that’s what happens when I paint at night instead of earlier in the day! I also need to correct the eyes. So, tomorrow I’ll either do some corrections or complete a different one. Practice, practice, practice!! This was done in watercolor on Strathmore paper size: approx. 7 X 5.
Enjoy!
Salt Lake Farm
Watercolor 8-1/2 X 10″
Today I decided to complete a pastel that I started a couple of months ago. This is painted from a photo I took a few years ago when I was driving south of Salt Lake City to see some property for work. I’ll bet there’s snow sitting just like this now! Viva Southern California!
Old Kentucky Barn
This was painted from a photo taken on a cross-country trip a few years ago. I shot photos of several barns that had been abandoned and will soon be gone.

Yellow Lab
This is a watercolor, approximately 7 X 5″. Thought I’d practice on a different breed before going back to my Shih Tzus. I think it’s Pango’s turn next. Enjoy
Australian Shepherd

Blue Mountains
This is a small watercolor I did today from a rather uninspiring photo….just goes to show you what some color will do. In looking at it now, I wondered if it doesn’t make a better picture cutting out the gold meadows and everything under it and focusing on the mountains.
Much better!
