spain landscape

I've been practicing with my watercolors. This card I painted with watercolors, it's a landscape in northern spain.
The shadow I think needs to be a different hue. The person shadow is what I'm refering to.

watercolor card

the tulip is painted with watercolor. I like the soft look of watercolors.

this is a shelf I painted on. one side is the geraniums and the other side are the iris and butterfly.

bathroom art

I did painting in two bathrooms. one scene on the door and the other on a bathroom wall.

I used enamel paints . the door i painted a coat of clear medium enamel on before painting, so it didn't smear off.

my art on furniture

oak leaves and cardinal

butterfly

I painted them on a dresser in my studio.

I'm doing some painting for our bathroom, check back to see what it is.

Almost done with it.

My first posting for 2010.

for the sewer

got this idea from a magazine . Could be a pin cushion or use on the gift package to the sewer in your life. I made a few and put them in my studio for
christmas decor. this is one of them I made.

Here's the directions from the magazine article.

and the photos from the article, too.

These they attached to a gift bag. If you're a sewer like me, you'll have plenty of material scrap pieces for this project.

mitten snowman

it was hard to see that other picture so I toke this photo with a light background.
It's not a stocking , I made a mitten.

snowmen

painted this on a 3x7 wood slat and then drilled the holes and added wire to hang it from.
It could be used as an ornament ,too.

this snowman is painted on a felted wool stocking.

used a felted wool sweater and cut out the stocking then blanket stitched around it.

the wool is hard to paint on ,so I applied textured paint and then put some shading around the snowman.
