Fall is in the air! #15 in the 30/30 Challenge!

#3 in the 30/30 "Phyllis" ?

I knew I was going to paint this chicken from the moment I took the reference photo at the Newnan Poultry Show a couple of years ago. How could I not?? Now to figure out a name for it. 6x6 watercolor on panel.

#2 in the 30/30 challenge

The weather is still gloomy, so I've again got a not-so-great photo. But I'm having fun painting these 6x6 boards!

Here's another colorful fall tree. All fall I wanted to paint these trees!

NEW 30/30 challenge day 1

Once again I'm giving it a try! Even if I don't get 30 paintings done in these 30 day challenges, I always get more done than I would if I hadn't done the challenge. I enjoy it. Here's my first painting. 6x6 on aquaboard panel. Tomorrow I will take a better photo in the daylight.

Samford Detail 2

I was able to get into a bucket truck to take the reference photos for this!!! That was such a fun experience. This is 11x14, matted, watercolor, $225.

Selma Cotton

We cut off a branch of a cotton plant one day, which I used as a reference to paint this. My grandfather ended up in Selma, AL, over 100 years ago when he was buying cotton for England. So Selma and cotton will forever be tied together in my mind.

11x14, $135, watercolor

Falling Leaf

This was fun. I love the colors of Autumn! This one is watercolor, 11x14 matted, and $135.

White Iris

This one is one I did from the first iris of spring after a long winter full of many traumatic changes. I was feeling hopeful and at peace with the changes when this iris bloomed while it was still cold and dreary out. I brought it inside and drew it, then added color. Watercolor and colored pencil, 11x14. $75 matted and ready for a frame.

Plein Air Purple Iris

I painted this one with some friends (and with my mom) on a plein air trip in Huntsville, AL. These irises were gorgeous! My painting doesn't do them justice. 8x10" matted size. $45.

Raspberry Kisses

I love anything fruity and chocolatey! This painting has a matted size of 8"x10". Watercolor. $45.

Indian Paintbrush

This one is 5x7 on clayboard again. $45 unframed.

Autumn Wreath

I did this small painting last year when we first moved into a much smaller house than the one we were in. I was sad about having to put most of our things into storage, and decided to create a wreath for the front door for some color and cheer. Then I painted it! Matted 8"x10", $45.

Buff Roo

This guy looks like he has an attitude. Of course, I've never met a rooster that didn't!! This is 6x6 watercolor on clayboard. 

His Highness

I have enjoyed painting on these clayboard panels. This one is 6"x6".

Busy Bee

I have a friend who loves beekeeping. She's asked me to paint bees for a while, now, and I finally got a good photo to use as a reference. This was painted on a 6"x6" square of clayboard, which is very slick. It's fun, but it doesn't behave like watercolor paper!

Apalachicola Heron

Last May I traveled with several friends to the coast of Florida for an international plein air event. We who traveled together weren't part of the participating artists- we went to watch them paint! It was a GREAT time of fun and fellowship, and we got to see some fantastic artists do wonderful things with their craft. I also took a ton of photos, and this painting is from one of those photos taken at a marina down there.

Orange Daylily

This was painted as part of a 12x12 challenge. I didn't have square mats but found 12x12 square frames, so I just drew the square within the 12x12 to make it look like a mat. Fun!

Indian Pink

I love this little flower.

Blue Iris on Yellow

This is one that I did during September's 30/30 challenge. I only got three done that month!

Day 2/30: "His Highness"

I love this rooster's puffed up chest! His comb reminds me of a crown, so his name immediately became "His Highness". This is painted with watercolor on a 6"x6" Clayboard panel.
