Just for Me

For the first time ever my kithen sink isn’t situated near a window. I don’t know about you but I need a view while working at my sink.  I whipped this painting up to enjoy over the holidays. It’s sure to make cleaning up a pleasanter task. Artist Susan Feniak.  Original art using Golden acrylics on 20″×24″ canvas board.

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.

“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

“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

#WorldWatercolorMonth July 18 “Puffin”

#WorldWatercolorMonth July 18 “Puffin”. Only time for another quick sketch again today. These brightly colored billed birds have always intrigued me.  Until I started looking at photo’s of them I didn’t realize what doleful eyes they had. Next time I hope to have a bit more research on them to share with you.  Happy Monday! PEACE

#NatureDoodlewash Tree Swallow

June 14  This could actually be another scene from the aft deck of our boat.  A pair of tree swallows have built a nest inside a hole in a piling on our dock.  We have enjoyed watching them coming and going busily feeding a nest full of young.  On occasion the pair appear to be having words over how to raise and feed their young with a great deal of bickering back and forth.  But soon they go back to busily coming and going.  A cacophony arises from the nest with each trip.   The youngsters have all left the nest now.  But it would appear the couple are preparing for another batch.  The cycle will begin again and we will be entertained some more.

#NatureDoodlewash  Once again I have used Neocolor II Caran D’Ache combined with Gallery Mungyo Watercolor Crayons.  I really need to get myself a bigger collection of Neos!!  Original art by Susan Feniak  on Canson Mix Media 7” x 10” paper
