A Moment on the Beach

I've wanted to paint this piece for some time. I was really taken by the design, the white leading to the figures and then everything just disappearing. The beach can be such a timeless place!

Beach Magic

This piece was inspired from one of my many beach photos. I enjoyed emphasizing the sky and creating sky and cloud shapes. The browns and blues in the lower portion of the piece echo the sky shapes and balance the darker blues at the top of the piece. There's something powerful about being able to see a flat expanse all the way to the horizon and that's what I wanted to give the impression of in this piece.

Beachcombing

This is an acrylic rendition of sanderlings, I used a lot of brushwork and vibrant color to portray these birds in this setting. The beach just sparkles sometimes and that's what I was trying to portray.

Sunflower Music Workshop

Today my workshop was about DESIGN and CREATING! We used the motif of sunflowers. Using watercolor and acrylic inks we covered the paper with color and texture. Then we designed the painting. Below are the beautiful pieces.

Favorite Perch

Chickadees are fun to watch and fun to listen to. They are hard to spot as they seem to hang out in the middle of the tree! I really love to paint them in trees! This is an acrylic piece with lots of pine cones and pine needles. The long rectangle creates a challenging composition. Lots of color and lots of brushwork make this a very expressive piece.

Wisteria Spring

Every Spring I admire the wisteria. This year I decided to paint them as well!
I squeezed paint right onto the paper to start with which created really strong colors!
