The Shoppers

"The Shoppers", 5x7" watercolor

I recently had a foot surgery and have been in a cast and unable to put any weight on my foot. Thus I haven't been able to stand and paint at my easel for the past three weeks. However, watercolors are the perfect solution. I can sit at my kitchen table and paint for hours on end. 

I have enjoyed getting back into the swing of painting in this odorless medium which requires minimal cleanup. I started out in watercolors many, many years ago and loved it, but didn't think the colors were screaming loud enough so I switched to oils. I'm sure I'll continue to work in oils once I am back on my feet, but may very well continue playing with watercolor. 

Hmm...perhaps I should also try finger painting? 

Here is my tiny portable setup. I love this compact little Windsor Newton product which makes art a breeze when I am traveling. 

The reference for this photo was posted on DailyPaintworks as a challenge painting.

Thanks for stopping to view my work.

Tit for Tat

"Lone Ranger" miniature 4x4" oil on black canvas board

 CLICK TO BUY

The Lone Ranger flies again! Another miniature in my bird series, this one is a Blue Tit easily recognizable by its blue and yellow plumage. They are widespread and a common resident breeder throughout Europe and western Asia living in deciduous or mixed woodlands. The blue tit prefers insects and spiders for their diet. They are famed for their skill, as they can cling to the outermost branches and hang upside down when looking for food.


Thanks for hanging out on limb with me today. Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!
