Practice, Practice, Practice

With summer comes time to play. Here are the two most recent paintings. They are practice for a bigger painting that I want to do. We'll see what happens. No matter what its fun.

Twilight

I admit that I love the Twilight saga. I've read everything at least once and most of it twice. If you're wondering why a grandma would love a teenage vampire story......... see picture. Any questions?

Flowers

Here's the new flower painting. It looks like the scanner "cut" a slice off but I don't know why. I was frustrated at first and then it started looking like a flower. I'm going to leave the background white. It's mostly practice but it's fun to play.

This is the first commissioned piece. The client wanted pink. The cost: one big hug! I hope you like it Gelsey.

I painted this flower with Jillian in mind. Jill, if you like it I'll frame it and bring it with me when I come to see you. Gelsey, if you like it I could paint a flower for you but maybe a different color. Girls let me know.
Love, Ma'am

This is the first watercolor that I will frame. I know it is a beginning piece but you have to start somewhere. It makes me think of Paul's first bowl. We all thought they were great but it wasn't until about 4 or 5 bowls ago ( out of over 50) the he is saying that they're pretty good. Sooooooo, this is a good beginning to what I hope is many, many pictures.
It is for my sweet little grandson, Frank. Look closely and see if you can see why it's for Frank.

Paul's latest bowls

Here are three new bowls by Paul. They're all being given away. I especially like the one in the middle and thought I was going to get to keep it. BUT we were invited to a 50th birthday party and well,..... I'll get a better one someday.
