WATERCOLOR SEAGULL SANTA WISHING ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS

7.5 X 7.5 WATERCOLOR ON YUPO PAPER

Yupo paper is non-absorbent and the colors sit on the surface making interesting watery effects.  It is kind of fun to play with and you really never know exactly what it going to look like until it dries.

HUMMINGBIRD WATERCOLOR PAINTING

8 X 8 WATERCOLOR SOLD

This little bird was perched outside my window on a crepe myrtle twig.

One of  the nice thing about watercolors is they are dry  in a few minutes. Layering  washes of different colors can create some interesting color changes.

JUMPING FOR JOY! OIL PAINTING COMMISSION

11 X 14 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS   SOLD

I really like the gesture of these children jumping into the water.  This painting is an oil portrait commission, that will bring  years of  pleasant memories to mind. 

While painting this, I paid attention to the negative space to relate the proportions of the figures to each other.

LITTLE GIRL WITH A BIG FLOPPY HAT

10 X 8 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS SOLD

I used more grays, warm against cool in this figurative beach study. The use of more muted color is quiet a contrast to the previous painting, where I painted with more intense color.

The 8 x 10s start at around $400..  Great gifts for Christmas if you hurry!

BEACH BUDDIES

11 X 14 OIL ON CANVAS

This impressionistic figurative painting is a typical Gulf Shores beach scene.

The beach has been packed all summer with vacationers. Although I like going to the beach to make photos for my paintings, I can't wait for the quieter fall season when the breezes are cooler and the beach is serene.

If you are interested in taking a workshop, I have one scheduled next month.  Check out the schedule in the top right hand corner of  my blog.

PROTHONOTARY WARBLER

8 X 10 OIL ON STRETCHED CANVAS

I photographed several colorful birds at the spring bird-banding  on Fort Morgan peninsula last week.

These birds just completed migration from the tropics, about a 40 hour flight.  Fort Morgan is one of their first land stops in the States.   I have no idea how this really yellow warbler got the name prothonotary....what does that mean anyway??

More birds to come.

Also, I was really excited to find that one of my paintings was accepted for the 2013 Oil Painter of America  Salon Exhibition.   I am honored!
