Fun stuff!

These two use the subtractive method of painting watercolor on Yupo. I included the first step of 'Wine on the Vine'. 20x10




'Greening of the Vines', 20x10



For my Personal Memories collection

'Yellow Flag' is the only wild iris native to Ireland. We spotted a bunch of them on the Ring of Kerry. 9x7 watercolor on paper.




This 'Irish Countryside' was also in the Ring of Kerry. I used subtractive painting for this watercolor on Yupo. That consists of putting down a bunch of pigment to represent the landscape & letting it dry, then lifting out the white buildings and fences with a thirsty brush. 10x20




Now for 'Raven Trio'. These birds are so habituated to humans that they literally beg for junk food in the parking lot of the Painted Desert National Park in Arizona.
8x18 watercolor on paper.



Catch Up Time

I've been painting quite a bit, and ignoring posting on my blog.

'Liquidambar' joins my Morning Walk series. 11x15 watercolor on paper.
