Watercolor Aceo and Mermaids



On Board

Smaller and smaller my paintings become. I am bending over farther and farther to paint and am glad I can stretch back out. Truthfully the smaller the paintings are the harder they become because you have to edit your ideas. But ironically I seem to be putting more elements into the smaller ones. Go figure. I think the dreaminess and purity of watercolors is what draws me to this medium.

I had mentioned earlier about some exciting news. Some art shows and groups allow members once a year on a blind juried basis. There is one coming up that I would love to be a part of. To do this you need a large number of new artistic endeavors to show plus a larger number of past works. Then they decide whether you can be a member and be associated with this elite (read hard to get into) group. Quite a few apply. Many are declined and only a few are choosen. I am aiming for the moon and entering. Aim high. Work hard. (play hard.) Work some more!

Siamese Cats Topiary Sculpture Garden Art Painting


Two Siamese cats with the results from their topiary garden class. A mouse running on a wheel in green topiary and a good-sized fish all in living green! Round ball standard topiaries are nice, but these two are taking topiary to another level. Having Siamese cats we know they are a little more active than most cats. They are very cute too!


I used some of the same colors as the westie with it's topiary art so that they could be grouped together. A nice long table of topiary art when they are side by side. This cute painting is for sale here.
