DAY BREAK
Watercolor - 11x14 in
I have many fond memories of family vacations at the beach, growing up in Texas. The sun, sand, shells and waves provided so much fun and I very much appreciate my parents for providing that for us.

RAINBOW FISH & Creative Surprises
RAINBOW FISH
Watercolor - 14x19 in
I began this painting in a very experimental way, using a slick type of paper instead of regular cotton watercolor paper. The slick surface allowed me to play with bright, bold colors applied in a random fashion.
When everything was dry, I began to 'carve' out the shapes of different fish using negative painting and was able to lift paint off for lighter areas. I used several different stamps to add some design to the background and white gesso for the bubbles.
When I give myself over to the creative process and let the magic happen, the end result is always a delightful surprise!

ROSES TRIBUTE & Creative Play
ROSE TRIBUTE
Watercolor - 11x14 in
Sometimes, the best artistic ideas come when we let go of expectations and just have fun with the process. New colors, different techniques, fun subjects. We shouldn't be afraid to explore, experiment, let go, make mistakes, start over and just let the creativity flow. Ready to go play?

SUNFLOWER GOLD & Fall Weather
SUNFLOWER GOLD
Watercolor on gesso - 8x10 in
Right now we are starting to get cold, fall weather here in east Tennessee and the sunflowers of summer are a distant memory but I do love the bright, warm colors of autumn leaves and the feel of a nice, cozy sweater. How about you?
