Calypso & Tango



Worked on one for a friend...hopefully she'll like it, as I tried to get it as close as I could to her dogs from a photo she gave me.

Lily (Finished)


A little bit of color. Maybe I'll try inks next time. My watercolors seem a little too pale.

Lily (Scratched)


A few little touch ups on the scratching and then I think it's ready for some color.

Aster 1 ~ Finished


Here we go...some colors added.

Aster 1 (cont'd)


I've finished scratching...a ton of practice is still required, and I may have overscratched in some places, but here it is. Now I have to see if I have any watercolor pencils to add color.

Aster 1




I started a new technique yesterday. I'm doing an Aster (design by Gisele Grenier, Art by Nature, www.artbynature.ca) Here are stages I and II.

Mountain Cougar


Finally got a digital photo of it, but my battery died before I could get the best lighting...anyway, you'll get an idea of it.

Original Outline by Karen LuAnne Murphy (1999). This was designed for oil painting, but I converted it to acrylics as best I could. I painted it on a 24 x 36 canvas...my biggest project to date!

I did it!!

I finally finished the mountain cougar today. Now all I have to do is take a photo of it & show you. I'll have it framed & give it to my younger son for Christmas. Now I can be content to move onto a new project!

Yippee
