Just finished these 2 watercolors, 6 x 8 inches on watercolor paper.  I am planning on selling them in support of Hopethiopia.  Thanks for checking out my work  :)

Little One

One more little watercolor to share.  This is 4 x 6 inches as well.  I haven't decided where she is going either...  All the BEST for 2021  :)

 

Woodland Santa AKA Team Green

My adult son has felt compelled to move back home from Australia.  He said he really liked this one and called it Team Green.  Not sure what I have planned for this yet  :)

Lucy (Big Brushes)

I just finished a free online lesson by artist Emma Petitt-- this is the result.  I really struggled because I don't usually paint faces, and I don't use big brushes.  I am pleased with how it has turned out.  It is 11 x 14 inches, acrylic on mixed media paper.  It is being sold in support of whatever Canadian charity the purchaser chooses.  Thanks for stopping by  :)

Your Move

I have decided to enter the ebay Nibble Fest offerings once a month.  It is a themed art sale in support of charity.  All proceeds from my piece will be donated to the SPCA.  This is a little watercolor and acrylic ACEO that I will enter in July.  Bidding starts at $.99, and hopefully someone will want to give it a home.  If you decide to check ebay, type in NFAC for Nibble Fest Art Challenge.  The theme for July is Original Checkers.  Thanks  :)

Big J (Jasper)

Sweet Blossom

A friend's pet recently passed away.  She has wanted to buy something from me for awhile, so she asked if I could paint her dear cat.  I haven't tried painting a cat before, so struggled with many layers of black to create something interesting.  (The reddish brown at the bottom of the picture is my reflection in the glass.)  She is thrilled with the piece and the proceeds will be donated to the SPCA.  Thanks for your support  :)

Just a Little Barnie

I just finished this piece and am debating what charity to sell it for.  It is vintage paper, acrylic and gesso on canvas board-- you can see the typeset showing through in many places.  Fun to paint and a pleasure to share with you  :)

The New Not So Normal

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Just finished this little piece  :)  Started off as part of a watercolor lesson with Este MacLeod.  Then I needed to "finish" it, so cropped and mounted it and applied antique wax.  I like how it turned out looking like wood  :)  I hope to sell it in support of the Food Bank.  Thanks for taking a look!

Some Bunny to Love

I just finished this little fellow last night  :)  I originally planned the red underpainting to be finished in blue, because that is the color that often calls to me.  I ended up liking the vibrancy of the red, so it gets its day in the spotlight.  This piece has been sold in support of the Calgary Food Bank-- hope it brings a smile  :)  Thanks for stopping in!
