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.

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.

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.
