Still trying to get comfortable with acrylics....watercolor being my first love, but framing is expensive!

Today's Bird Paintings

Blue bottles and a yellow bird.

Lilies from the garden with a goldfinch, almost finished below

I turned it into a collage with batik fabric to bring out the blue and blue violet, as well as to add more whimsy!


These two paintings are for sale in ETSY!

Bird Watching

2 small 8x10 watercolors of stilllife with birds. I wonder, what are these birds watching????

Reflections, Seeking Focus

This watercolor is based on a still life, but attempting to escape reality. It isn't too literal, scale and space are distorted. [I need a camera to show the whole painting,this is a scan of the center] To me, there is a bit of a "mirror" feeling. The red pear on the right side is "reflected" as a pear bi-sected on the left of the painting (mostly missing here).
The bird (from a figurine, great for posing and painting from different angles) seems to be preening in front of it's reflected image.
