Tilted Tulip Watercolor Painting

The loose petal that let’s you see inside this tulip looks like a ramp inviting you inside – heh. The original is a watercolor done on 5″x7″ hot press watercolor paper – the reference was a photo I took of live tulips we had in the house about a month ago.

Red-Orange Rose Watercolor Painting

I painted this stylized, close-up rose image in watercolor on 10″x14″ 140 lb. hot pressed watercolor paper with different hues of red and orange watercolor paint. What, that’s obvious? LOL.

After I was finished I could only see the rose after I stepped waaay back from my close work on it – had to stop thinking of the parts and the process and see what the end product was.

To see a zoom image or to get framed or unframed prints for your wall, just click the above image or click here.

This design also took well to things like greeting cards, tote bags – just click any of the images below to see all of the red-orange rose products in my shop.

As always, comments are welcome, and thanks for looking!

Beware the Gnome Guards

A little stone house down the road has the best home security system ever.

Beware – the garden gnomes have got their eyes on you!

Rainy Day Cheer Watercolor Painting

Just a rainbowy-watery kind of watercolor experiment…

Watery streaks and splashes of color wet the long grass and leafy plants shooting up. The whole thing reminds me of a summer rain – I can smell the grass and taste the water.

Bedrock

Our neighbors have the most spectacular barn – it’s really old, has about seven sections that are completely different and probably added on at different times, and the whole thing is covered in metal sheeting. I’ll be sharing a number of photos I’ve taken of it, and here’s the first. I called it “Bedrock” because it was obviously easier for whomever built this to use the large flat rock slab (probably granite) as part of the foundation of the barn itself rather than try to relocate it – genius!
