Quiet Reflection~ framed

"Quiet Reflection" is a small watercolor done on 140# Arches watercolor paper.  I wanted it to be a lovely, quiet, yet expansive, place to just sit and "be".  I'd like the viewer to feel they can take a breath and relax.
This piece, 4.75 " x 5.5" is double matted with acid-free mats and backing.  The finished size including the frame is 11.25 x 10.5".  Hope you enjoy it!

Evening light colors

Lovely time of day

This is a small piece, only 4 3/4" x 5 1/4", but it was fun to see how much variety of color I could encompass with it.  You know by now I love evening skies and especially their reflection in water.  It's a beautiful time of day to just be in the moment.
Painted on Arches watercolor paper with transparent watercolor. 

Day's End

SOLD

The glorious rusty fall foliage is the inspiration for this watercolor landscape.  Along with that, at least in this area of the country, the fall and winter skies are spectacular.  It takes my breath away at times to see the intense colors and cloud formations in the evening sky.  I hope this encourages you to take some time to view the sunsets!  This painting is done on Arches watercolor paper and measures approximately 8 3/4" x 11 3/4".

Looking out of my studio window the other day, I saw the late afternoon light hitting the trees with their orange foliage and it was very beautiful.  I decided to do this little painting based on that inspiration.  This painting depicts a little later time of day, but still with that lovely orange glow.

This painting is done on 140# Arches paper with transparent watercolor and it measures approximately 12" wide by 7.5 " high. 

Garden Niche

 SOLD

I painted this scene with the intention of cropping it, but when it was finished was intrigued by the idea of making it a vignette.  Oh, alright, so my husband actually suggested the vignette format and you KNOW I hardly ever listen to those suggestions, but then I thought "why not?"  So let me know what YOU think.  The location this photo was taken in was a beautiful bed and breakfast in the small town of Sarlat in the south of France. It was just a lovely, sunny summer morning and breakfast was on the terrace.  This piece is cropped to 9.5 x 9.5 inches, painted on 300# Arches watercolor paper.
