Since
DH and I spent the past few months working at summer camp, I didn’t have an opportunity
to do any watercolor painting except for a few sketches. Not long after our return I did a piece
requested by a lady from just over the Teton Mountains in Jackson, Wyoming.
My
most recent undertaking started out with this value sketch.
I transferred
the sketch to watercolor paper and went to work.
Before
long I had the forest underway.
I started
on the foreground and then decided I’d better put in the deer so I could add their
reflections in the water.
This
is the finished product. I’m calling it “Energy Drink.”
It is for sale on my Etsy site along with two other paintings I’ve finished in the
last few weeks.
This
one is called, “Saturday Morning” and
came from photos and time I spent watching kayakers along the Oregon Coast enjoying
a morning away from their weekly routine.
“Power Surge” is of a blustery afternoon
near Maxwell Point. The tide was coming
in between the beach and the rocky islands bringing the roar of waves to add to
the rushing wind. Brown pelicans were scanning
the surf looking for a meal kicked up by the surge.
