Up on the Rooftop Painting

Finally a brand new finished painting to show! This one is with acrylics on watercolor paper and was loads of fun to do. I have a feeling there will be many  more coming in a similar style soon!

Blueberries

I've made two version of the same blueberries about 3 years apart!;)

The first was watercolor.

And just recently, an acrylic version:

I like them both in different ways.  The acrylics are much more forgiving to work with, which is exactly what I need!!!

Journal Painting and Poem

This is a painting taken from one of the hand-sewn journals I made during this summer.

The lines of the poem I glued in have been edited slightly with the help of one of my Modpo pals, Mark Herron.

despite the interlude

the moon leaves the night
where the sweetest stories burn
as the northern summers
are woven into a breeze

a shadow plays in the sky
while little fires burn
and the magic air flies
to speak with nature

it seems so easy
the pleasure that holds me softly
but the facts reduce the night
to melancholy

Sheep!

 

They're fluffy, soft and completely irresistible!!

 

Pears

A watercolor from a couple years ago.

Blackbird

I did this one a couple years ago. On canvas, about 40 inches wide.

Three Paintings

I did this series of paintings during the summer. I would call these three my favorite birds, but I think that might have to be an ever-expanding group. ;)

Blackbird

Bullfinch

Wagtail

All of these I gave away as a present, but I still have visitation rights. ;)
