Day 9 - 30 in 30 Days - Indian Corn



Indian Corn
8"X10" watercolor 
 
It was cool this morning.
Football season has started. So fall is in the air. 
I am still playing with this loose technique.
I still tend to want to work it a little bit more.
Add a few more details. Tweak it just a bit! 
PUT THE BRUSH DOWN.

Day 8 - 30 in 30 Days Challenge - The Irish Blessing

Well, I missed day 7. I was helping a friend with her daughter's wedding.
It was a beautiful outdoor wedding and the weather was perfect.
The were peacocks and flowers and big trees (shade).
I officiated the service and it was blessing to unite the couple.


So with my mind still on weddings, I thought I would share 
this is a painting. It was a commission I did last year.
My friend Laurie gave it to her friends as a wedding gift.
She gave me permission to make this available as prints.
It is called "The Irish Blessing"


"Bread-that this house may never know hunger,

Salt-that life may always have flavor,

Wine-that joy and prosperity may reign forever."

Prints are available in 5"x7" and 8"x10"

Day 5 - 30 in 30 Days - 3 Colorful Chilies and a Video


3 Colorful Chilies
4"x9" watercolor on Arches paper
I have made a demo video. I am still
working with camera placement, lighting, and editing.
I wanted to do a voice over because of phone ringing,
doors opening and closing, pauses, stop, spilled water, life...
 
 I had Bible Study last night so there was not time to
do voice before posting this morning. 
Maybe next time. 
 
But I do have a full length, detailed DVD
 in my Etsy store

Day 4 - 30 Paintings in 30 Days - 2 Poppies Watercolor

2 Poppies
5"x7" watercolor on Arches paper
SOLD

This style is a whole lot different for me. 
No photo. No realistic detail. This is such a stretch.
But it is fun! I would love to know what you think.

30 Painting in 30 Days Challenge - Day 2 - Just Passin' Thru

 
JUST PASSIN' THRU
15"x22" watercolor on Arches paper

Several of my artist friends a part of
Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.
I thought I might give it a try. No painting for Day 1.
Day #1 was spent with my sweetie in the hospital.
He ended up with an angiogram and 2 stents in his heart.
We are home now. He is doing good. No damage to his heart.

So I am cheating just a bit. I painted this right before we
went to the ER. It is called "Just Passin' Thru".
The title is inspired by my friend, Renee's blog, "Just Passin' Thru"
The scissor-tailed fly catchers pass thru Texas during their migration.
They don't use birdhouses and, according to some old wives I know,
are a sure sign that  spring is here and it is safe to plant annuals.
This painting is a compilation of several photos. I was just
playing with composition.
