Bag This

This is my submission for the rookiepainter. It was definitely a tricky one.
5" x 9.5" $ 100

Pitcher Picture

This is my submission for the Rookiepainter Challenge. The original photo showed all the pitchers lined up in a row. I decided, like some of the other artists, to change the composition. This is the first time I used the Masque pen. I need to work on either painting larger pictures or controlling the amount of fluid that comes out of the pen.  4.25" x 6" $50

Reflecting on Apples

Apples are one of my favorite subjects. I don't know why. This is for The Rookie Painter Challenge. I was upset about the line through the top apple. I did not realize that this paper had another drawing on the other side of it until it was too late. When the paper got wet it showed through and unfortunately dried that way too. .The other picture on the pack was an oil pastel that had stuck the next page to it so I did not notice. Lesson learned! Alas I will not submit it, but you can go look at the others if you want. N/A

Dreamscape

I did this watercolor for The Rookie Painter Challenge. I tried to do it in the style of my favorite watercolorists Belinda Del Pesco. I have a lot to learn. When I finished it the blanket reminded me of waves and I thought that that was appropriate for the restless nights of my sleeping on some days.
3.5" x 5.5" $100
