Yaya's Baybays

My friend Nola had a birthday coming. We were just sitting down looking at some pictures. I saw a pic of her sweet grandchildren marching on the beach and knew I couldn't wait to paint them for her. It was such a pleasure to paint and she was just about speechless. This painting is called "Yaya's Baybays". Painted with MaimeriBlu paints on watercolor paper.

Zig and Zag

I titled this painting "Zig and Zag". Zebras zig and zag when running from a predator. Their stripes help hide them in a group and their stripes vary depending how far South they live! Who would have thought! 9 x 12 watercolor on cold pressed paper with MaimeriBlu paints.
