Early Light - day 10 in the CHALLENGE


Early Light

9x7in watercolor on Yupo  

Day 10

A friend's sunroom is the source of
this painting. It faces southeast
and is flooded with light in the mornings.
Her plants go crazy and put mine to shame.

Artist Note.
Yupo is not the easiest of papers to work
with. I admit I am more comfortable with it 
than when I first started, but still find it a 
tricky surface to get used to. 
I love the watery appearance so it has 
been worth the time experimenting and learning
all about it.
I am gathering 
quite an arsenal of techniques and will 
share them when I know they are solid.

Little Tin Birdy



Little Tin Birdy

6x6in oil on canvas  $100.


Day 16 in the 30 in 30 Days Challenge
My personal goal  for this challenge - to paint only
what I have never painted or thought of painting before.


This was a fun little gift a friend gave me for Christmas.
It never occurred to me that I would paint it.
This Challenge is making me see all kinds of
paint-able things.
