Carrot



Watercolor on paper / 7"x3"

This is another DPW challenge.  The challenge was to paint a root vegetable or bulb.  My carrot is pretty straight forward, I only used 3 colors.  I may try it again and spice it up with some more colors.
Thanks for looking!

Zorn Challenge


Watercolor on Ampersand Aqua Board / 5"x7"

This weeks challenge on Daily Paintwork's was to paint a painting using only 4 colors.  Titanium White, Ivory Black,  Yellow Ochre, and Cadmium Red.  I sat down during Maddie's nap and whipped this out.  It was a great challenge using only 4 colors!  The greens were very hard to achieve.

Red Rock Valley II


Oil on canvas panel / 8x10
This is another take on a scene that I painted a few years ago.  I took a bold approach with my brushstroke and colors.  The red rocks of Sedona are so breathtaking, what a beautiful subject to try to capture.

Silver Creamer


Oil on canvas panel / 5x7

This was a creamer dish that was my grandparents.  I love that it's a little art deco, very 1950's.  I believe its actually made of chrome because it's not tarnished at all, whatever is easier to take care of, right?

Cupcake Revised



Oil on canvas panel / 8x10


This is a painting that I did in 2011.  I have been focusing more on the entire composition of the painting, instead of trying to get the subject right, and then hastily throwing a background in.  So, I went back to this one and fixed the background that I had done.  I think it's better, the original is below.

Goose


Oil on canvas panel / 8x10

This goose was a gift that I received when I attended "Jakelake 2008".  A Lanka lady family get together that takes place on a lake near Tulsa OK.  The Ladies will reunite again this month for the anual get together, and will surly have a ball!
Thanks for looking!
