This might look familiar! But it’s a new little 8×10 that I started tonight. I blocked in the most basic colors and values. I like the warm start that it’s off to. The foothill painting I did for the art auction was square and 8×8 and I thought it would look better on a rectangular canvasContinue reading “Katie Peak WIP”

Watercolor Cuties & Oil Cuties & another marathon
Whenever I just want to paint something, I grab a bunch of little cuties. You know, the little mandarin oranges. Are they called Cuties around the world? I think I like my oil painting better…but this is watercolor #1. Or really #2 if you count the little Self Portrait I did in 2003. I see one littleContinue reading “Watercolor Cuties & Oil Cuties & another marathon”

School Art Auction
There it is all framed. I love the simple reveal “floating” frame, it’s my favorite. This frame always makes a painting look finished and professional. The little painting sold for what I would sell it for, so that’s great. I also helped with the 4th grade class art project that was sold in the liveContinue reading “School Art Auction”
Watercolors
Ok watercolor artists, what do you recommend??? Watercolor paints that come in the little tubes or a set with a bunch of little dry squares or circles, like what we all used in elementary school, but you know, more professional and expensive? -Jill
Self Portrait
My one and only watercolor. I bought a set when I moved from California to Idaho to try to cheer myself up and painted one picture of my old house on my head, with my 2 little bird boys standing on top. I’m not sure why I didn’t do more watercolors and I lost my set.Continue reading “Self Portrait”
Rhino Portrait
Just for fun. I’m thinking of painting an animal alphabet. I painted this pink Black Rhino a few months ago and hung it on the wall to dry and then painted my nephew and hung him to dry and noticed the 2 together. It made me laugh. I had to specify that it’s aContinue reading “Rhino Portrait”
The struggle is real
Is there a painter out there that hasn’t struggled through the start of one painting or another? Or struggled through the middle of it to push through the awkward teenager stage? Or lost steam towards the finish and petered out? Have you felt the let down of finishing a painting, even one that turned out betterContinue reading “The struggle is real”

Auction Piece & Marathon Monday!
Done! Off to be framed today. I’m so happy with how this little painting came together, it’s simple and sweet, and I hope it will appeal to a parent or two at my daughters school art auction this Saturday. I’ll let you know how it does! I drove by the peak the other day andContinue reading “Auction Piece & Marathon Monday!”
