Morning Flight

This is a small watercolor painting of Sandhill Cranes flying in the early morning light.  The background was a practice pouring of 3 primary colors. Then the 2 birds were added using white gouache.

Spring Garden Path




Small Landscape

Mixed media on 9x12 artist canvas panel painted with watercolor crayons over synthetic cobweb matted on the canvas.

Luck Arrives

This is a mixed-media painting of a Chinese calligraphy character on rice paper with colored ink in the background.  The character FU (luck) presented is upside down (dao).  Generally the picture is hung facing the front door, and when guests enter the house they will see and comment "FU dao" meaning "Luck Arrives or Comes".

Anticipation

Half sheet of Arches paper CP 140# watercolor painting of a blue heron titled "anticipation".  It's looking forward to whatever it wishes to do for the day!
