A collection of new watercolor paintings in my shop.
I've been enjoying the contrast of deep dark blues and lots of gold gouache.
Shimmering works on paper inspired by Whistler's Peacock Room and Mughal miniatures.

Sunflowers
Sunflowers four ways.
It's been raining for days. They skies are grey which I usually love,
perfect painting light. However, it's damp and cold for a May day,
I'm not so patiently waiting for the sun to shine.
It seems my palette is slightly weather dependent, hence the moody blues.
I'll have a small shop update next week with new watercolor paintings.
Have a great weekend all.

Birds in Repose
Birds surrounded by garlands of marigolds.
Trying to approach things with a looser hand.
Two new large watercolor paintings in my Etsy shop
which now offers guest checkout, no need to create an account!
Have a great weekend all!

Satin Bowerbird
I started this painting a long time ago and never finished it.
Usually I give up and move on but this week I decided to work on it again.
I find Bowerbirds fascinating. They are quite organized collectors.
Apparently, the Satin Bowerbird prefers blue. Who can blame him? Don't we all?
He presents his bounty in little piles, artfully arranged to woo his lady love.
It's quite romantic when you think about it.
This watercolor painting measures 18 x 24 inches.
I just added him to my shop.

Sunday Sketchbook
I forgot to post these pages from my sketchbook last week.
Vibrant colors, bright tulip paintings and patterns from my week working in Florida.
A little palette departure, I know, but I don't know if I really have a consistent palette.
I'm open to what's around me and this is what happens when I
leave the grey skies and dormant landscape of Virginia,
and step into a tropical paradise. Sometimes the eye has to travel.
