Fun with Florals

Recently, I gave a watercolor workshop at Star Harbor, Texas to a group of 18 fellow floral enthusiasts. We had a great time exploring the magic and beauty of watercolor!

SWA International Juried Exhibit - Ft Worth, Tx

This summer, my painting, At Maxine's, was chosen for the Society of Watercolor Artists International Juried Exhibit.

A Face in the Crowd

Florals! Florals! I love florals. This painting was inspired by some of the most beautiful orchids I saw at the San Antonio Arboretum.

One...Singular Sensation!

This painting was inspired by a photo I took at the San Antonio Arboretum. It so reminded me of the wonderful song from the Broadway play, A Chorus Line, titled One. This painting was also selected to be a part of the TVAA Nature and Wildlife Exhibition in their downtown Dallas gallery.

Three for the Road

I have always been inspired by Nature, and its beauty. Having lived on a lake for the last 15 years, I'm always thrilled to see the beautiful wood ducks that you sometimes catch a rare glimpse of. These beautiful creatures inspired me to paint this watercolor. This painting was recently selected to be a part of the Texas Visual Arts Association Nature and Wildlife Exhibit in the Plaza of the Americas downtown gallery.

In a Field of Poppies

This is a large follow-up painting of poppies I saw in Hubbard, Texas along the roadside. As I was driving through this small Texas town, my eye was caught by the beauty of the majestic red "popping out" from the blanket of green.

Recently, this painting titled "At Maxine's" was selected for the 2011 Society of Watercolor Artists International Juried Exhibition. The juror was Ric Dentinger. The crystal belongs to my friend Maxine, thus the title. This is one of my favorite paintings. I love painting the shapes, patterns, and light and shadows of crystal.
