Sunflower Season

SOLD

 Warm yellow petals
Smiling coppery faces
Sunflower Season

I LOVE sunflowers and think they have so much personality.  Sometimes their round copper faces stare boldly and sometimes they turn shyly away.  Such a beautiful dance.

This watercolor is painted on 300# Arches paper.  It's done in a style of many, many transparent layers. It's approximately 8 x 9.5". 
Hope you enjoy this painting! 

The Beach Path

Between the grasses
the evening breeze whispers
Gulls circle slowly

This painting is of a beach on Cape Cod, although I must say I don't remember which one!  I really liked just the sliver of ocean peeking through at the top of the path, and if you can just imagine for a minute, remember the call of the gulls. 

This painting is approximately 9 3/8 x 6 1/2 and is done on Lanaquarelle 140# watercolor paper. 

Crimson Glow

SOLD
Color of rubies
radiates a glowing warmth
trees in crimson light

 I saw the first little cluster of crimson leaves on our swamp maple, which made me think of the glory of the landscape to come in the Fall.  This is just a moody landscape paying tribute to the change to come.

Here's the link to the auction:

City Lights

Quiet hum of night

Ripples catching flecks of gold

Sparkling city lights

Windows catch the last glow of light from the setting sun, and some are lit from within.  It's a very peaceful time of day, especially with the buffer of water to soften the city sounds.  This watercolor, painted on Lanaquarelle 140# paper is 6.5" high by 9.5" wide.  Hope you enjoy this time of day as much as I do.

The Flight

Quiet end of day
Water whispers on the shore
Dots across the sky.

I love to see the geese in flight formation--you can hear them honking before they pass by overhead.  They used to signal Fall, but they tend to stick around now and you can enjoy them knowing it's still Summer.  This little landscape is 6 3/8" x 6 3/8", done on 140# Lanaquarelle paper.

Lakeside Lights

SOLD

Early evening at the lake...a few lights starting to twinkle..a soft ending to a beautiful day.

This little piece is painted on 140# Lanaquarelle watercolor paper.  It's 6.5" x 8.5".  Hope you enjoy the tranquil moment depicted in this painting.

Evening Flight

                                                              Last warm rays of sun,
                                                              diamonds sparkle on water,
                                                              the seagulls call out.

That lovely time of evening at the beach, with the seagulls circling and swooping across the water and dunes.  This could be any beach--it's wherever your imagination takes you.   This time of day at the beach just makes me BREATHE and enjoy the tranquility.  Hope it does the same for you!
