New Paints & Paintings

Sample of My Art Cards (2.5" x  3")


For my birthday earlier this month, I treated myself to some new, artist grade Winsor Newton watercolor paints.  I've been selling most of what I create now, so, I decided it was time for some new colors.  Today, I enjoyed painting the little skunk amongst the flowers pictured above.  His black fur was actually done in layers of Cadmium Yellow, Magnesium Brown, and Payne's Gray. The chipmunk under the pine boughs and the dragonfly & lotus flower were painted earlier.  It was so much fun creating all three of these miniature paintings.  Starting with a blank sheet and an idea, I love the process of bringing bits of nature to life.
