"Fishing's Done"

More Rockport plein air. These boats were through fishing for the day, parked and the owners were enjoying happy hour after a hard day. Some of the boat owners wanted to purchase the paintings of their boats, but our prices were probably what they make for the whole day fishing. They did enjoy watching us all paint their "prize possessions.".

"Bait House"

I just got back from the annual Rockport Plein Air painting trip with 11 other people. We all had a great time and painted many local scenes. At the end of the day, several of us had painted the same vicinity, but all the paintings looked so different. This is an ink sketch I did of a little bait shack I then watercolored. We had a lot of wind, plenty of bugs and very irregular sunlight. That's the fun of plein air - you never know what "elements" will hamper your painting task. At the end of the day there were plenty of sunburns, show & tell, lots of laughs and stories to share. Great group of painting friends!!

Design II

Available - This is pastel over watercolor - a design that I created out of my head one afternoon. It was originally an abstract tree, but I carried it beyond that. It works both vertically and horizontally and I wasn't sure which way to post. So maybe tilt your head to the right and see it the other way! Today was a good day - I sold 3 more paintings out of "The Home Spa" from my French travels. Way to go Rebecca!

"Bo Futch"

This is my rendition of "Bo Futch" a very talkative macaw who lives in Kerville. I woke up this morning and decided it was a "Bo day" and painted him while doing the laundry.

"Spacescapes I & II" (Diptych)

This pair of watercolor paintings is currently showing at "The Home Spa" 1411 W. 6th Street, Austin.

"Bird" - SOLD

Thank you B.N.S. for purchasing my painting!!! I'm thrilled that you are giving it a good home and I appreciate your support so much. And yes, I do commissions!! ENJOY!

"Kerville in Spring"

This is a small watercolor study done from a photo trip last springs with our dear friends Pat & Johnny. I know all the flowers aren't out yet, but I can't wait. Last year's wildflowers were so beautiful.

"Whisper"

This is my painting that was shown at the Watercolor Art Society - Houston, 31st International show. The juried exhibit ran for one month. I was so very honored to have been juried into this show by Stephen Quiller. I went to the opening and was awe struck by the entire show.

"Moondog" - SOLD

Thank you Geri for purchasing "Moon Dog". I'm glad to know a little Rockport painting has found a new home in Alabama. Enjoy!! It's almost time for our annual plein air painting trip in Rockport. Anyone familiar with Rockport/Fulton Bay will know about Moondogs. I painted this angle from one of our first trips. We have all painted many versions of this building and I thought I'd share mine.

"Arrowhead" - SOLD

SOLD - This is my first commission for a friend who had it painted as a Christmas gift for the Mayor of Round Rock. Apparently, this is his favorite longhorn on his ranch. It proved to be a fun challenge and I enjoyed the process very much.
