What a strange year we’ve all had! Making art has been my refuge and I have completed 22 paintings. I have been fortunate to have 22 out of 28 entries accepted for national juried shows and of those, 7 received awards, including the Best of Show with a gold medal in the Montana Watercolor Society Annual Watermedia Exhibition.
See “Dancing Light”, right.
I also earned Signature membership in the Northwest Watercolor Society with my painting, “Opulent Water Lily”.
Here are a few new paintings.
Sophie’s Iris” is on a half piece of Strathmore Water Media Board. As usual, the light was my real subject.
It was fun to mingle many reflected colors within the light petals.
“Hearty Hollyhock”, right, is on a half sheet of Strathmore Watermedia board. This white flower gave me an opportunity to play with reflected colors in the shadows. The values are all important to make the flower seem three dimensional
“Fall radiance” is my newest painting, done on a half sheet of Fabriano Uno paper. It was a branch outside our living room window that had lovely back lighting.
Wishing you all a happy Holiday season
and a wonderful New Year!
