Formed by Wind

Usually we keep our back to the sand dunes, pay little attention to them, until the water carves or takes them. As a kid, it was perfectly acceptable to climb and slide down the dunes. We thought they were as much fun as the water. Back in the day they were so much taller or were they really? Or was that just the perspective of a kid?

This is a 6 x 8 watercolor. It is a standard size and will easily fit in a standard size mat and frame. I used watercolor paper and MaimeriBlu paints.

Out of Darkness

I have always heard paint your feelings. I am mostly happy and it is reflected in my paintings. May fourth of this year I lost my sweet Daddy. He was 95 years old. He still had his driver's license, still lived in his home with his wife of 62 years (my Mom). I was a Daddy's girl to the max. I will always miss him and cherish the memories we had. This painting: "Out of Darkness" is watercolor on yupo paper. It conveys the somber lost feelings of losing someone  you love. The light piercing  through the darkness is the hope I have of not remaining here in this dark place and time.

Bliss

You can only imagine with a name like "Bliss", what a wonderful cat to know! Intense eyes and the softest fur in every shade of grey. I painted bliss six times and on the seventh go, finally nailed it. MaimeriBlu watercolors on watercolor paper.
