“Belize Gull” Draw a bird day

image

A Belize Gull.  They look the same as any other Gull! This one posed for me so I knew I had to paint him.
This can be my #WorldWatercolorGroup contribution for the day too.

“Lighthouse” #WorldWatercolorGroup

img_20160907_113213“Lighthouse” #WorldWatercolorGroup   The prompt for September 7.  This is Stoer Lighthouse.  Situated on Stoer Head north of Lochinver in North West Scotland.  Dating from the 1870’s.  I painted this from a photo I took while at the lighthouse about ten years ago.  It was a blustery day and the clouds lay wet and low over the sea.  The views and surrounding coastline are spectacular.

“Sailboat” #WorldWatercolorGroup

img_20160906_082700“Sailboat”  #WorldWatercolorGroup   The prompt for today September 6, Sailboat.  I love seeing a sailboat with their colorful spinnaker unfurled.  Running before the wind. My phone camera did not like this painting so here is the best photo of the lot.  Cheers!  PEACE

“Sunglasses” #WorldWatercolorGroup

IMG_20160904_154220“Sunglasses”  The prompt for #WorldWatercolorGroup today is sunglasses.  That is an easy one for me.  I don’t have just one pair I have at least ten pairs of sunglasses.  I guess one could say I have a thing for them.  After all a girl needs matching accessories.  Not to mention a pair of sunglasses for wherever and whenever she needs them.  There is always a pair in my purse, car, and on the boat.  By the back door, front door and near the patio.  Now don’t get me wrong, these are not expensive designer sunglasses.  Good grief.  I never spend more then $15 per pair.  That is how I can have as many pairs of sunglasses as needed.  Cheers!  PEACE

“Beach Ball” #WorldWatercolorGroup

IMG_20160904_140149“Beach Ball” was the prompt for #WorldWatercolorGroup today.  Here I have a standard beach ball, nothing special.  I was a muck about with a bucket and shovel kind of kid.  My favorite bucket was blue.  I made many a sand castle with it and my white shovel.  Beach balls had a tendency to float or blow away.  Watching it bob off into great deep dark depths that one couldn’t possibly swim to was rather stressful.  I am sure many a tear has been shed over the loss of a prettily colored beach ball.  Ergo mucking about with my bucket and shovel.  Lifting rocks to see what was under, finding stray sand dollars or sea shells.  The idyllic day at the beach for this kid.  Oh and a lot of swimming.  There was none of that laying on a towel sun bathing stuff happening for me.  Cheers!  PEACE

“Getting Air” #WorldWatercolorGroup

IMG_20160902_141423“Taking Flight” or trying to!!  It was another soggy boating weekend so I had a lot of time for art.   This Flamingo is the result of that time.  Ever so pleased our aft deck stays nice and dry even in monsoons.  Cheers!  PEACE

“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
