#WorldWatercolorMonth July 16 “Sweet Nothings”

IMG_20160715_183842#WorldWatercolorMonth  July 16  “Sweet Nothings”  Because several of you said more paintings of animals please.  Meet Princess and Duke.  I will leave it up to you to imagine who is who. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this one.  Just a couple of months ago I would have avoided both painting animals and water colors.  Who knew?  Thank you Charlie O’Shields for all your encouragement.

These two, whispering sweet nothings should have me all caught up with my #WorldWatercolorMonth paintings again.  Original art by Susan Feniak.  Koi Water color on 12″ x 9″ paper.


#WorldWatercolorMonth July 15 “Blue on Blue”

IMG_20160714_153613#WorldWatercolorMonth July 15  “Blue on Blue”  Or should that be wet on wet?  That is how this painting was done, wet on wet.  And that is how our boating weekend went, wet on wet!!  I am a day behind because I hit my limit for data on my phone.  Darn no internet or wifi whilst boating, limits a girl.  I do hope you are having a fantabulous weekend.

#WorldWaterColorMonth “Blue Eyes”

IMG_20160713_102303#WorldWatercolorMonth  July 13  “Blue Eyes”  Another first for me today.  A cat!  I should say due to yet more time restraints this sweetie was created rather quickly.  I think I would like to paint more cats and dogs.  I can see they would be a lot fun, especially their facial expressions.  This one can be for my sister, the lover of kitty’s.

#WorldWatercolorMonth “Little Worrier”

IMG_20160711_082951#WorldWatercolorMonth “Little Worrier”  I found myself wondering what to paint for todays post around 2 a.m.  A silly time to be wondering such things I know but this is me we are talking about.  Meet Little Miss Worrier!  She is the first dog I have ever painted.  Happy Monday! Peace.

#WorldWatercolorMonth “Waiting for Sunshine”

IMG_20160709_122335#WorldWatercolorMonth  “Waiting For Sunshine”  I think the name says it all.  We waited.  The sun returned this morning when we had to go back to work!!  Happy Sunday everyone.  Original sketch by Susan Feniak  Koi watercolor on Moleskine.

#WorldWatercolorMonth “Time For Tummy Tickles”

IMG_20160705_135754#WorldWatercolorMonth July 6  “Time For Tummy Tickles”  A shortage of time today has me visiting the Hedge Hog family again.  This wee fellow wanted some tummy tickles.  I can hear him giggling.

My thanks go out to Charlie O’Shields at Doodlewash.com for putting all kinds of time and effort into making this month special for all of us water color enthusiasts.


#NatureDoodlewash Otter

June 30th 2016  This is the final day of the month and for #NatureDoodlewash.  Today I have gone back to the beach for a walk.  I look out onto the water and there I see an Otter!  He is having a lot of fun frolicking in the waves.  Have you ever been entertained by an Otter?  It is a joyful experience.

Once again I would like to thank Charlie O’Shields at doodlewash.wordpress.com for his imagination and inspiration creating the doodlewash a day forum.  Next month, July, Charlie has welcomed us all to join in on his #WorldWatercolorMonth.  There are many joining in on the fun and I hope you can too.  You can find more information on Charlie’s blog, Facebook or Instagram.  Or doodlewash.comIMG_20160630_135913


#NatureDoodlewash Cute and Fuzzy

June 28th  Since we are still in Scotland we will go for a nature walk in the Highlands today.  Here we will come across the most common of sights, sheep.  They are everywhere, its their grass, their hills and even their road.  These two were only slightly curious of our approach so apparently people are common here too.

#Naturedoodlewash More tenacity!

June 22  Can a walk about Edinburgh castle be considered a Nature walk?  There are grassy bits, gardens and ramparts to walk about on so I hope so.  They have some lovely rose gardens at Edinburgh Castle as well.  My doodlewash today is based on a photo my Aunt took while at Edinburgh Castle.  It speaks volumes to me.  A long since silent battlement is home to a rather tenacious yellow daisy.  Think, a canon used to be fired from that window.  Guns can be silenced.  Peace.
