Heavenly Hibiscus

I decided to print out this red hibiscus bloom in black and white and try to guess at the colors, and here is the result. Size: 16x13.25 watercolor on Italia 140lb soft press paper/Daniel Smith/DaVinci paints.

Here's JoBeth just getting started on her demo Tuesday night here in Big Spring to a packed house.  She did an interior scene as you can see from her post.  It was inspiring and informative as her demos always are.  I did time it and she went nonstop for 30 minutes! Bravo! Thank you for coming!

Big Spring, Texas Demonstration

Had a great time in Big Spring....seeing friends and making new ones.  Thanks to Jean Money and Lane Bond for making another artist feel at home.  The demo is on 140# Arches watercolor paper that was wet front and back, using a terry towel to remove excess water.  It is an interior low key painting of an ice cream shop....

Thanks Big Spring Art Association

Great News! Christmas in July

I have been contacted by the Dick Blick company for permission to use 10 of my Winter/Christmas themed art designs for their 2012 holiday catalog! Yay! It is truly Christmas in July here in hot west Texas!

22x15 watercolor of an imaginary clothesline with fresh laundry blowing gently in the summer breeze.  Although I don't have a line I still dry some items outside in the backyard on hangers.  This was one of my favorite chores growing up along with taking clothes down then ironing them.
