Ah the Red Rose!

Roses seem to have a language of their own. Each color of the rose is identified with a special meaning.    Red for love, yellow for friendship and white for brides. How many cliches we have with roses: every rose has its thorn, a bed of roses, and a rose by any other name, just to name a few.  No one is indifferent to roses. Its hard to pass by a rose without stopping to take in their beauty and scent. Roses are special, and a rosebud has its own kind of specialness. I used MaimeriBlue paints on watercolor paper.

Blu Seahorse

Another watercolor from a friends diving excursion. I like to learn about things I paint. Did you know that seahorses carry the babies till birth?! Think about that man! Painted with MaimeriBlu watercolors on watercolor paper.

Saint Kitts

Sea legs: The ability to adjust one's sense of balance to the motion of a ship at sea. That would not be me. I loose my "sea legs" pretty quick!  Still, I am drawn to them and think I would like to have one to putter about close to the shore. Yes, I know these boats are not ships! Just love to look at boats in the water. Painted with MaimeriBlu paints on watercolor paper.

Big Mama

Have you seen the size of these sea turtles?! Can get up to 300 pounds! This is a Hawksbill Sea Turtle a friend of mine photographed while diving. This is a watercolor with a limited palette of 3 colors using MaimeriBlu watercolors on watercolor paper.

Magic Hat

A dear friend has graciously shared photos from her travels. This hat is worn by Peruvian women. The flowers tucked on the side are believed to be magical. Painted with MaimeriBlu paints on watercolor paper.
