BROKEN FENCES

Love painting old barns in watercolor. This one was one that I really enjoyed painting. Adding the old broken down fence was fun to do. SOLD at Roanoke's Sidewalk Show June 2, 2018.

M&M'S - PLAIN OR NUT?

Now this was a crazy painting to do! Right? If you look close you'll see a tiny m on most, not all, of the candy. Once again the jars kept me from going crazy!

SHADOWS UNDER THE ARCH

A memory from my trip to Provence, France several years ago. I loved being there, beautiful place, so relaxing.

STRAWBERRY JAM TIME

Love Ball Canning Jars! The blue jar is an antique I've had for many years. The amber was a limited addition jar. The others are the normal jars you can find anywhere.

PEACEFUL PLACE

This painting in watercolor was a commission. It was the largest I've done in watercolor in a long time, 27 1/2 x 32. The friend that requested this painting wanted something with greens, rocks and water. What better reference than Roaring Run, that is what I based the painting on and it just so happened that is one of her favorite places.

TASTE IT, IT'S GOOD

Now this was one of my favorite paintings to do! This precious child, Alyssa, at the young age of 2 loved her dog, Dusty Bottom, better know as just "Dusty". To this day the mother has a hard time growing flowers for her yard because Alyssa wanted to feel him pansies at a young age. The painting is a watercolor. This painting SOLD  to my niece, the mother of this adorable child.

THE END OF THE ROAD

This was a fun little painting, not much planning, it just happened. Its watercolor, then I did pen and ink on the trees. The size without mat and frame is 7x11.

FOLLOW THE LEADER

These precious birds are so very interesting to watch on the beach. I don't know anyone who doesn't love watch just how fast they can go. Another fun painting to do I have painted in watercolor recently.
