IRIS COLLAGE

I love combining my watercolours with papers, stamping and interesting designs.

I began by painting the irises leaving the right side blank...then I added Japanese rice papers, gold stamping and painting behind the iris in black acrylic.  The gold doesn't show up very well in the photo but the right side has a beautiful pattern of gold running through it.

WAITING FOR DINNER

Grizzly bears can often be seen standing in fast water waiting for salmon to swim by and they quickly snap them up to eat.

Watercolour ...

BLUE BREEZE

This was the second piece I did as a demonstration at my recent art show.

WHITE LILIES

I had to do a demonstration recently and I chose to do these white lilies.  Painting white flowers is always a challenge.. you don't want the shadows grey but have them multi coloured and fun.

COASTLINE

Scenes like this occur all along the Pacific coast.  Oregon to Alaska... pounding surf has eroded and created beautiful towers. 

Watercolour.

OWL

Saw Whet Owls are a very small owl and live here on Vancouver Island.  His feathers were a challenge especially with so many white feathers mixed in.

Enjoy.

WASH DAY

 

A painting of a photo I took in Italy. The building was falling down but it was still inhabited.
