$80 - 5x7" original watercolour painting with 8x10"acid-free mat.

Side by side, these pear pals are full of splashes of colour! I drew them with a charcoal pencil, which darkens as it gets wet, then I added as much pink, red, purple and green as I could!

I couldn't justify going shopping just to buy peppers for my still life so, I decided to make peppers out of Play-Doh! See pics below. ; )
Here's the sketch -

And here are my Play-Doh peppers. 

 I found free photo references of peppers on Pixabay and then changed the colours... of course.

It was wonderfully challenging to find the background colours in the glass bottles. The green bottle is one of my favourite still life objects.

 I may have gotten a little colour happy!!!

For my latest still life, I started to fill this jar with flowers and after one, I just stopped. It looked so confident - a perfect statement for this difficult time. I know it's hard to be motivated when there's so much time at home but I hope you are all finding some creative time. It might just push you through it. x

$200 - 8x8" original oil painting on 1" deep panel

Well, this girl was quite a challenge! I loved exploring the shadows falling over the top half of her face, and balancing it with the lights on her cheeks. Also, I worked with a green and purple palette which created some helpful guidelines. I'm very happy with her!

 - $60 original 6x8" painting in gouache

I felt like painting with green and purple today. Since the model was lit from both sides I thought I'd paint one side predominantly green and the other purple. I brought in some reds down the middle to warm up his lovely friendly face and bring it all together. I love the colours green and purple together. 

Viridian Opera

Well, this one doesn't look anything like the model... but I sure had fun messing around with a green and pink palette. I used Viridian and Opera which make a lovely purple. I added dashes of Cadmium Red just to warm it up a bit.

$90 - 9x12"watercolour on 90lb paper.

considering green

I have been playing around with toning the watercolour paper first, in this case with gold green and viridian, then drawing with pen and painting on top. I'm having fun with the idea and it brings a unity to the piece.

I found this lovely red glass jug at a garage sale over the weekend. And tulips were on sale! Both of which encouraged me to paint larger.
