There was the most beautiful and vibrant sunset I remember seeing in years. I took a bunch of photos and did this painting from those. There is no way to adequately recreate those incredible colors!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NTkslG5V90o/TD_CCqVCDaI/AAAAAAAAAew/nOEjamZRfoc/s1600/Sunset+at+Callaway+Gardens+sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" rw="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NTkslG5V90o/TD_CCqVCDaI/AAAAAAAAAew/nOEjamZRfoc/s320/Sunset+at+Callaway+Gardens+sm.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Sunset at Callaway</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em>Watercolor</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Framed, 11"x14"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">$175.00</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I occasionally participate in various challenges on wetcanvas.com, an online&nbsp;artist community.

The owner decided to have 12x12 as the theme, and all artists were to submit works in that size. I enjoyed the challenge, because that's not a format I usually paint in. <br /><br />I sold one of them a couple of weeks ago, but these are the other three. They are each framed in black frames. They were fun!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NTkslG5V90o/S-N2l3UBNpI/AAAAAAAAAeg/sj3dpBdsAgU/s1600/jap+mag+twk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NTkslG5V90o/S-N2l3UBNpI/AAAAAAAAAeg/sj3dpBdsAgU/s320/jap+mag+twk.jpg" tt="true" width="304" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Japanese Maple</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><em>Watercolor</em></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Framed, 12"x12"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">$175.00</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NTkslG5V90o/S-N2hD0X2qI/AAAAAAAAAeY/0Ww4-K2Rg-Q/s1600/Daylily+twk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NTkslG5V90o/S-N2hD0X2qI/AAAAAAAAAeY/0Ww4-K2Rg-Q/s320/Daylily+twk.jpg" tt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Orange Daylily</strong></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><em>Watercolor</em></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Framed, 12"x12"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">$175.00<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NTkslG5V90o/S-N2a3dxcLI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/FQXVRJkwVjc/s1600/daff+twk+wht.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NTkslG5V90o/S-N2a3dxcLI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/FQXVRJkwVjc/s320/daff+twk+wht.jpg" tt="true" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Daffodil</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><em>Watercolor</em></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Framed, 12"x12"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">$175.00</span><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6535904049072109327-3603487339006239369?l=lesliebrasherart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00858191989426328005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6535904049072109327.post-14258063591182335512009-03-17T21:56:00.006-05:002010-11-19T21:38:46.391-06:00<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 85%;"></span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NTkslG5V90o/ScBjQ1pCPuI/AAAAAAAAAc0/6vwe4CYjcpM/s1600-h/Peony.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314356701225434850" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NTkslG5V90o/ScBjQ1pCPuI/AAAAAAAAAc0/6vwe4CYjcpM/s320/Peony.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 229px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;">Pink Peony</span></strong></div><div align="center"><em><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;">Watercolor</span></em></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;">Matted 11"x14'</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;">$135.00</span></div><form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><div align="center"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" /><br /><br />I painted this one from a copyright free photo on Wetcanvas.
