“Sadie” Number 2

PEACE

“Fun With Flamingo’s” #WorldWatercolorGroup

IMG_20160824_113746“Fun With Flamingo’s”  #WorldWatercolorGroup  This started as fun with splattering paint and squirting water at it to see what would happen.  When I added pink one thing led to another and I ended up with Flamingo’s.   A bit of whimsy which I rather like.  And I had fun too.  Hope these guys bring a smile to your face.  Cheers!  PEACE

“Wisp” #WorldWatercolorGroup

IMG_20160823_111913“Wisp” #WorldWatercolorGroup   Its been a while since I last visited the Killdeer family.  Sproink, Goink, Frisk, and Doink have long since left the nest.  This year I see “Wisp” has joined the family and no doubt several more chicks are not far off.  If I keep my imagination working perhaps there will be more put down on paper or canvas.  They are a lot of fun to visit and create.  Cheers!  PEACE

#WorldWatercolorGroup Favorite Flower

IMG_20160803_084900#WorldWatercolorGroup  Favorite Flower is the prompt for today.  Being a retired florist and avid gardener I love all flowers but if I had to pick one it would have to be tulips.  Perhaps because to me they signify the end of winter and the coming of spring.  After a long winter warmer sunny days are always welcomed by me.  Cutting bundles of tulips from the garden and having vases of them about the house, bliss!!

For this #WorldWatercolorGroup sketch I did not pre-draw anything preferring to keep everything where the paint brush took me.  One thing led to another so splattering and smiles ensued.  My pink tulip is in the middle of a spring rain.  That’s my story and I am sticking to it.  Original art by Susan Feniak.  Holdbein Artists’ water color on Strathmore 140lb cold press paper.

I will be on hiatus for most of the month.  But I will try to catch up whenever possible.  Have fun!! Cheers.  PEACE


#WorldWatercolorMonth July 30 “Shell”

IMG_20160727_162444#WorldWatercolorMonth July 30 “Shell”  Because of time I did another quick frame-able post card today.  Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend.  It is a holiday weekend here.  Cheers!  PEACE

#WorldWatercolorMonth July28

IMG_20160727_114920#WorldWatercolorMonth July 28  I have done so many paintings this month I can’t come up with a name for this one.  It is another experiment without drawing before I paint and it is another landscape and tree for which I need practise.  So here it is.  I might be running out of names but there is no lack of ideas!  Cheers.  PEACE!  Maybe this scene will help.

#WorldWatercolorMonth July 27 “Free as the Bees”

IMG_20160726_151255#WorldWatercolorMonth July 27  “Free as the Bees”!  As in I did this totally free hand without drawing until outlining everything and adding buzz fuzz with my Faber Castell PITT artist pen at the end.  There is the perfect amount of spatter and fun bits to keep me happy.  Although these guys resemble bumble bees the hard working honey bees are in trouble so maybe this will remind everyone to protect our bees.  They aren’t free.  Have a fabulous day!  PEACE

As #WorldWatercolorMonth nears the end I will have to say I will miss it.  That being said I am sure Mr. Charlie O’Shields will come up with another stellar idea for next month.  Something for us all to look forward to.


#WorldWatercolorMonth July 26 “The Monarch”
