Happy New Year!

I am not in the mood for winter.
The following paintings reflect this.
The first 4 are ACEO's that are going up for sale on e-bay.




The following is a large painting that was a long awaited special request
for the Texas Kryder's. 


Title:  "Seventy Degrees at Sunset"
(Actual colors are much more vibrant, photo wasn't the best.)
***
O.K., I have done one wintery, snowy painting in the last couple of weeks.

I'm still not sure about this next painting.  I think it might not be
finished yet, but maybe it is.

Now that we are past Chirstmas and heading into January, which is usually
very uneventful, I hope to have much more time to devote to painting!

Happy New Year!

Hibiscus

Yesterday I took another watercolor class.
I have been under the weather for two weeks now, it zapped my creativity so
getting out and making myself paint was a really good thing.
Hopefully I am fully on the way to getting better now, I think I am because
I finally feel like picking up the paintbrushes again.
The class was called "Intimate Florals".
Here is the completed project....


The only other painting I have completed in the last two weeks is this next one. 
I like it but I think its a little dark. 
This is probably reflecting the fact that I was not well when I painted it.
