Watercolor Trials

Watercolor can be challenging. However there is something beautiful about

the balance between nature and control of the artist.  So over the years, I've found myself
revisiting watercolor. As a result I thought I'd work on a little landscape of a church in 

one of my favorite spots in the mountains that I found at the end of fall. 

The Details of Trees

I've been doing more drawings and ink studies recently. 

I love trees, so I spent time diving into the details of 

a tree this weekend. This tree actually lives in Thomas Jefferson's garden.
The drawing is a study from a photo I took...
The steeple lives in North Carolina.

Bird Studies

Here's another little watercolor I worked on this weekend. 

Happy little yellow bird!

A little Inspiration

So, we have a new addition to the creative space...

One of Ann Wood's beautiful little birds, Molly!

What a perfect addition, you see she matches.

I hope she brings me much inspiration! 

How blessed I feel!

Final Touches on my Mockingbird

A few final touches tonight!!

Oh how I can't wait till I can paint full time!

Creative Space

My space is slowly evolving. It's still in disarray, but I found a small 

spot to paint a small watercolor of a mockingbird today!
