Several more to add..

Nummy, juicy, red tomatos

This pelican is a watercolor done on yupo paper.  Totally different from working on watercolor paper.  Fun and challenging.  Sorry for the glare in the glass.

2012 is here! I have been painting:) need to post.. We have opened a gallery in Seguin TX, 109 N River St. stop in Wed-Sat, 10-6

The lighthouse is Cheyboygan MI lighthouse. Waterscene is Lake Michigan. Hot peppers, I love.. limes are nummy, and the goatie is Angie's kid.

NOTE TO SELF....

DEAR SELF...get back to your blog more often.. have been painting lots of watercolor cards.. not a total slacker.. will post some soon to prove it to you... thanks to me!!

Another sewing painting, an enjoyable second hobby of the years gone by..

this was fun, since I'd sold the prior painting of threads, thought I'd do another in a different color scheme. don't we all love experimenting with colors..

this is eggshells and baby pomegranite...

I like the mellow colors in this painting...

June is here and will be gone way too fast..

Fresh veggies from the garden, these came from a friend's garden however, mine is eaten up by deer..:(

old spools of thread--

these are old wooden spools of thread from my sewing box. With the old frame, they make a complimentary painting..

Now for some home grown oils..

the collection of books, saucer and old cloth is family memorablia for my enjoyment and thoughts. Fond memories..

the golden roses in the golden pot was a try for a study in shading yellows and golds.



I love peppers to paint. Brilliant colors, pleasing to the eye for me.

these last two, the little one eyeing the chip bag thinks she's fooling us.. hmmmmmm......:) the baby's pic was the idea for the last painting here.. such a sweet, somber look.. such a doll!
