All About the Pumpkins

SOLD
"All About the Pumpkins" is a scene I happened upon at a local farm in my home town of Watertown.  The sun was casting such interesting shadows on the largest pumpkin from the nearby flowers and I loved the shadow play across the whole group.  This was fun to paint and I'm happy to report it just sold today! 
Thanks for looking and enjoy our beautiful Autumn. 

Daisies

SOLD

"Daisies" is a watercolor done in the "Ink and Wash" technique.  Ink is used to delineate the flower petals and some of the shaded areas, and the watercolor washes are applied after that.  Some artists reverse the process, painting first and then using ink but it's just a matter of choice.  I was fortunate to win a watercolor award with this piece.  Painted on Arches watercolor paper, this painting measures 11 3/4" wide by 8 3/4" high.
Hope you enjoy it!

Amy's Bouquet

SOLD
A simple summer bouquet cut from the garden of a friend ,(who just happens to be a master gardener), was given to me recently.  I loved the unusual combination and simplicity in the glass jar.  Hope you enjoy it.
This watercolor is 6 3/8" high  x 7 7/8" wide and is painted on Arches 140# watercolor paper.

Flower Power

SOLD
I thought July 4th weekend would be a good time to post this "firecracker" painting.  This pastel was done from a floral bouquet and the bright red flower was the obvious star.  Painting measures 16.25" wide by 13.25" high and is painted on LaCarte pastel paper. 

Maine Fishing Shack

SOLD

I wish I could remember the exact town in Maine where I snapped this photo, but it was a lovely area with the afternoon sun slanting across the landscape.  I was taken with this little fishing building, with the boats pulled in for the day.  This watercolor painting is 8.5" high by 11.5" wide, done on 140# Arches watercolor paper.  Hope you enjoy it and think about our warmer weather to come. 

Leave the Light On

SOLD
This is a lovely old farmhouse, the Van Vleck house, in Woodbury, Ct  It is part of Flanders Nature Center. The sun is low in the sky and sending warmth over the front of the house and the large maple tree.  You can see they've started tapping for maple syrup.Hope you enjoy this watercolor painting.

Winter Moon

"Winter Moon" is a watercolor on Aquarelle Arches 140# paper.  It's approximately 8.75 x 11.75".  Our neighbor's house and barn present a beautiful view for us in all seasons, and especially toward the evening and just after dusk.  Hope you enjoy this quiet, crisply cold  view to match our weather this winter.
