Last night I added my Destination watercolors to our shop as ACEO card prints! I still plan on doing more, since Jon and I have a lot of cities we want to see, but, as-of-now, it’s Florence, Tokyo, Cancun and Nice!

Here’s the full, first series, as mentioned last week. Picking 4 cities we plan to visit in the near future, I made little 3″ x 4 1/2″ watercolor paintings of each. I shall do more soon; Lord nows there are a number more cities on this list!

Just a little project I’ve been working on. The above is a painting of the Sensō-ji Temple in Tokyo, Japan. This weekend is a travel one, so I shall post pictures of the completed pieces next week. Have a fabulous weekend! <3

I had an impulse to one more for my watercolor bird series and I wanted something pink this time! I had to do a little rearranging, but they fit together quite nicely now.

So, the series is complete, for now, and I couldn’t be happier with how they all turned out! They are all sitting pretty in our front room, which I hope to get pictures of this weekend, once I have time to finish up on spring cleaning.
The last of this series was the falcon, which I’m dedicating to Jack. <3 Here are some detail shots:

I have been in such a painting mood recently and it’s great! I’m trying to see how many of these bird watercolors I can crank out. Painting birds seems so odd, too, because I’m usually so much more interested in people (and portraiture, more specifically). But, I’m really having a lot of fun, so why stop? Next up, the cardinal!

I haven’t been so happy with a final product in a while! The peacock is another watercolor painting and the frame is, obviously enough, made from a bunch of found wooden rulers. (Those were a wonderful find and I’m glad I’m finally being able to use them.)

For my last birthday, Jack gave me the greatest present: art supplies! He got me some watercolor pencils and a watercolor block. I’ve been playing with them off and on, since, and I thought I would post a recent project. I’ve never really done progress shots before, so this is very neat to see. Though, I am a little irritated at the blurriness of these photos… they looked fine on the screen on the camera. I don’t think the painting is quite finished, I need to push the skin tone a little bit more. (Pushing colors is something I struggle with, since graphite was my first medium of choice.) Once finished I shall post the finial fruits of my labor!
