Curb Appeal (and some history)

   I took the photo in the 80's in Langdon, Painted the acrylic version in the "00s (my niece Tanya Scully owns it), I did the pencil sketch last week and then painted it in watercolor yesterday. 

Photo is a little dull.  Not sure if the tree needs more attention and maybe another branch.  Fun to revisit my work from long ago.  

flowers from neighbor

My neighbor Joe, brought these beautiful lilies over.  I have wanted to paint that crazy vase that i saw somewhere, so i put Joe's flowers in it.  Background was stamped and smeared a while ago.  
 

No Float

 I painted this 8x10 acrylic today while my son-in-law took my car to the shop.  He is the best.  ANYWAY, i found the pencil sketch i had done many years ago and had painted in W/C. {it is hanging at my son's home in Oregon.}  This was fun 'cause i had painted the canvas orange with "left over" paint from my last project and wah-la, it worked.

Blue and Yellow

 Hooked on the 8"x10"s ..  Friend Sheri gave me a lemon that she got from her sister who brought it back from California.  (that is too much info) . and I put it in my favorite bowl and wah lah.  

"Do Fish Kiss?"

 Friend Sharon brought me a lot of smaller frames last week.  i gave some away but kept a few 8x10s.  ordered a packet of 8x10 canvas boards and wah lah..   i've painted these little circle fish b/4.  a fun project for Memorial Day '25.    

Kiss my Owie

 My great granddaughter!  I could not resist painting this image in watercolor.  i entered it in the RRWS show, we will see how that goes.  I painted a reddened area on her hand and it was accidently heart shaped.  What does that mean??  

Peek at the Pacific

 Using a photo i took in Oregon driving on hwy 1.  i liked how turquoise-y the water was.  this photo does nothing to enhance the painting.  it is acrylic.  photo sucks.  I'll try another day.
