Landscapes


I would like to exhibit some other watercolor subjects with this post. There is a link to the page where you can really see them. I'm including some of them here. This first one is a full sheet done of Helen, GA. The gentleman is Charlie, my late husband.

This one is called "Road to Glory". It's not a full sheet, almost. This painting was selected by American Frame as their print of the month for March, 2007.





This is called Old Mill Stream. This painting was featured on the cover of a magazine called "Alabama Living". This is a scene I photographed near here down stream from a dam site where there had been a waterwheel type mill. The mill has since been restored.



Tubing Stream at Helen, GA. I photographed this scene standing on a bridge overlooking the tubing stream. I developed this painting from that photograph.

Backlit Irises


Good Morning! Here's another in my series of irises. I like this one because it's backlit, which is my favorite lighting condition.

I also like the color harmony in this one.

Loose Women


I may change the title of this at some point. I just finished this one, it's painted loosely because the picture was so tiny I could not see the details. Here it is! Cia


Cascade


Dear Readers, I seem to be stuck in an iris mood. I don't care though, these complicated flowers have much to teach me. So I'm going to persevere, regardless of criticism as to why I don't paint something ELSE. Here is the one I called Cascade. I've done another one that is really loose but I need to finish it before I post it.

The one before that one, Happy Dance


I haven't put this one up either. This one came before "Iridescent Petals" and it's called "Happy Dance". The title refers not only to the way the painting turned out but also due to the fact that it went well from the start and had me doing the happy dance. I really love this one. Hope you comment!

I'm still here!


Hello! I've been so busy I haven't even been here to talk about what I'm doing!
I've been painting, and framing. Does anybody despise putting together frames as much as I do? I seem to be constantly screwing in those tiny screws only to find I don't have the corner tight enough and have to do it all over. Anyway, here's what I have just finished.

I'm very pleased with this because I have figured out how to paint an iridescent look without the use of iridescent paints. I did add a little metallic gold watercolor to the leaves but those translucent petals are just plain watercolor.

Comments?

Sold!


Hello everyone! This is a painting I sold the other day. It's called Spring Vision, it's a full sheet. The lady is very pleased with it. I was surprised because I did not even think it was finished!

Textures with Iris in a Field


Hello everyone, this is something I did in one day the other day. It's very loose and textured. I really like it! It's a full sheet. I've entered this one in an online juried contest.

"Sundance"


Good evening readers, I'm here right now to post my latest work. I just finished this a while ago. I really like it too! It's called "Sundance" and it's watercolor on Arches 140 lb. cold press paper, a full sheet this time! It's been a very long time since I tried to do that! Let me know what you think! Cia

"Here's My Heart" Irises


To my readers, I'm so happy with this painting. It represents a new phase for me. This is something I have longed to accomplish a long time. This is called "Here's my Heart", and of course, it's irises! This is done wet-in-wet for the most part. The secret here is how you apply the colors, you should always separate blue and yellow with red. Hope you like this one!

Yellow Double Hibiscus

Well, this is a yellow double hibiscus. I don't like it as much as the orange one. But on we march. I'm feeling like I need to paint something else next, not flowers. But it's probably the way I feel about this picture that is affecting me.

Orange Double Hibiscus


This is my first attempt at a hibiscus. Well, the Confederate Roses are a kind of hibiscus. This one is a beautiful orange double one. I'm really liking this one. It's a combination of watercolor and watercolor pencils. I hope to do more of these!

First painting painted in 2007 by me.
