watercolor trees

As posted previously, watercolor is not my usual medium - I'm not always successful with it. Not only is this a, to me, rather nice watercolor, but it is one of the rarest of the rare artworks that I have done out of my head. The muse visited me while I was dabbling and playing around one afternoon. No other explanation.

another iris!

This one is loose, very loose. It is painted with watercolor, acrylic, and gouache paints on paper.

apple study

Watercolor is an "iffy" medium for me. For every successful watercolor painting I do, I have about ten absolute muddles. This is a little study that I think is ok - I had some fun painting this and two other paintings which became gifts to a couple we stayed with last summer in Hampton Roads.

may flowers

On our farm are little islands of hidden iris bulbs. Each May they come out and delight us. This is a watercolor sketch of an iris from last year's batch.

Little Bird - a watercolor
