This is a pointsettia at my moms given to her by my sister. Everytime I visited I was taken with the beautiful shadows that were cast on the living room rug. Finally when I remembered the camera I snapped the picture. I hope you like it.

Back at it again, this is the first class of the new year, pears are always a good way for the girls to get back into the groove, a subject they are all very familiar with.

Not a watercolor I know! This is a pennie rug table runner I made
with wool taking the design from my Claire Murray rug that sits under the table.

That time of year again, this was done some time ago but I thought it would
be a nice posting for a blessed beautiful cool fall like day like today.

Getting back in the swing of things after taking a few days off I am posting an oldie but goodie.
"Backyard Girls" is a watercolor painting of the cows that used to live in my backyard. I miss them and will never sell this painting of them, it is such a happy memory for my family.

I'm so thankful today for the wonderful holiday/birthday weekend in Maine. Perfect weather and company. Not much painting getting done.
Here is a pretty little summer watercolor still life.
SOLD

yesterdays glass study, watercolor painted traditionally,
not the wet on wet like the day before.
The crystal was a lot more intricate but the paisley clothe
was fun to paint and I love the way it came out.

Working on glass this week, this is a watercolor painted wet on wet, it worked up
pretty easily, I did use a little masking fluid to save some of the whites.

Second in the yarn series, this was a commission for a great friend
who owns "In the Loop" a little yarn shop in Norfolk MA.
I really enjoy painting yarn and will probubly paint a few more.

"Too Many Angels" title from a Jackson Browne song and if you know me you know why. Working from a photo I took at a nursery in Sharon MA.

A challenging piece to say the least.

Thankyou Judith and Trevor for the lovely gift, love this

periwinkle McCoy bowl and it looked so pretty with the

oranges I just had to paint it.

Painted my new McCoy bowl, thanks Judith and Trevor

for the lovely bow. Watercolor measuring 16 x 20

This was soooo fun, bigger than life! A full sheet of pool balls, I borrowed them from my sister who has a pool table at her home.

New one,no name yet, watercolor painting of my sons drums. He doesn't have to much time to play them anymore, maybe again some day. Will be exhibiting them at the Next Door Gallery in September.

"Alyce's Stash" first in a series of watercolor yarn study paintings.

"Bits and Saddles" 22 x 27 This was actually painted before "Saddle Up" posted earlier, practicing the leather before I attempted the larger work. I love trying to achieve realistic texture. Love working on leather and metal.

Practicing the silver pieces, quite the challange!

More candy apples, I have a new snapshot taken in Banff. Rows and rows of apples, I'm thinking about painting one more candy apple painting. SOLD

Pineapple study, not the easiest fruit to paint! I think the next time I pick one up i'll just eat it instead. Watercolor

SOLD

"Feeding Time" Not to often do I put a figure in, but this was from a picture of a man I had from long ago. I changed his clothing and added some birds. Originally it was a long painting then I decided all the background was not necessary. SOLD

OK, This is the second time I painted this subject,
(Ken's guitar) the first one sold but I liked it so much I decided to paint a full sheet with my favorite rug as the background. This time it is a full sheet. I love it! It was accepted into the Portsmouth Arts Assoc. Juried show in June.
