Watercolors on Yupo paper

"Texture Crow 1"  5x7 watercolor on yupo paper

This is my contribution to DPW's "Happy Birthday Carol!" challenge.  Some people say crows bring them fortune.  I just like the drama that I feel inside me sometimes because they're black and they remind me of Hitchcock's movie of course.

Ok I'll also post my other new painting of strawberries.  I love painting on yupo!  Sometimes my current life events keep me from painting full sheet ones though :P

ACEO Neglected tool...

"Neglected, But Not Forgotten" 2.5x3.5 watercolor on paper

I don't take it lightly when I discover that I've forgotten to wash a brush, especially when it's with oil paint or acrylics.  Aside from the high cost of good art supplies, I strongly believe the old say, "when you take care of your tools, your tools will take care of you."  But this one brush was not the first I've damaged and it probably won't be the last!  I painted this for the Daily Paintworks Paint What You Paint With challenge :)

"Solo Mio" 7x5

This too is a response to Daily Paintworks Challenge to paint the Old Mill.  One of my most enjoyable fishing experience was when I camed at the Kern River in northern California.  It was rocky and the was had nice movement.  I didn't catch a single thing but I still enjoyed it.  Anyway, that was my inspiration for my rendition of the old mill reference photo :)
