Watercolor Images made into Pendants

These watercolor paintings are just under one inch square. They are secured under a glass tile, then wire wrapped with some cool beads to create a beautiful pendant necklace.

Cactus Shot

Cactus Shot, 8 x 8

When Erika left California for Arkansas, she bequeathed me many beautiful plants. A cactus, which is now in bloom is one of them. These are two blossoms that fell off the plant and landed in a shot glass.

Yellow Tomatoes

Another little painting before they're all gone...

Yellow and Red Tomatoes

Yellow and Red Tomatoes, 8 x 8

We had a great harvest of yellow and red tomatoes this year, I wish I had had time to paint more of them. These are among the last of the crop.

Glazing Study

Glazing Study, Watercolor, 8.5 x 11

This was a workshop demonstration of glazing - creating layers of transparent watercolor. The blues and purples that were the first layers come subtly through the other layers, and pop out in the foreground as the lighter stalks of weeds and grasses.

Harry

Harry, Watercolor, about 12 x 12

This demo piece was painted during one of the watercolor workshop that I have given from my studio. Martha - friend, neighbor and student - asked for a demo on painting fur in watercolor using her hairy friend Harry as the subject. Sadly, Harry left us last month. He is fondly remembered!

From the last life-drawing day...until we resume in September.

Watercolor Study

I often create a watercolor sketch that is a study for a larger silk piece. This watercolor, about 5 x 15, is a study for a silk piece that is 24 x 72. You can see the larger silk piece next week on Hillary's Blog.
