The carnation is one of two flowers for January... The inspiration for my painting of a red and pink carnation came from the emotions these flowers represent. The bold red symbolizes love and admiration, while the soft pink brings to mind gratitude and warmth. I loved how these two colors complement each other, creating a mix of strong and gentle feelings. As I painted, I focused on the delicate layers of the petals and how the colors blended, trying to capture both the beauty and the emotion th

Old neon signs intrigue me. The patina of age on the metal. The way the sun reflects in the glass tubing and the shadows they cast. I abstract them by cropping them tightly and shooting them at an angle that might mimic a viewers glance. This sign in downtown Gilbert on the Liberty Market caught my eye on our first visit to Gilbert before we moved here from Oregon. It?s downtown treasure! Watercolor on Arches 140 lb.

I painted this for a challenge posted on the Art by Paul Clark FB group page. The reference photo was taken in Devonshire, England. I used a Bee Paper sketchbook and miscellaneous paints. I?ve been working on learning dry brush technique in watercolor for a while I I think I?ve finally mastered it as evidence by the trees in this one.

I like lines more than paint. Watercolor is the perfect medium for someone like me who loves line work. Thin paper sketchbooks are my favorite surface to work in?.nothing is precious and you can have fun?.to me, that is what art should be?.Fun! These ladies are part reference and part imagination. I loved how the spread turned out?.soooooo me.

My two sons both moved to Arizona for work and we missed them so much we immediately began trying to create a path for us to move to the Phoenix area. This painting was an attempt to paint desert themed flora to feel closer to them. We now live in a suburb of Phoenix and love the unique beauty found in the desert!

I'm a beginner watercolor artist enjoying learning various techniques as I try to find my own style. I loved the challenge of these bricks, and learned a lot while completing this painting alongside a YouTube tutorial from "Paint with Shiba."

I had been painting for about 3 months, watching tutorials on uou tube, practicing different techniques. I was feeling confident. I had a blank sheet and some inspirational pictures around me and started to build a picture. Once the flow came it was like a wave, not stopping until I wad happy, finishing it off with the bee in the flower. I love bees. Felt overjoyed at my achievement in this piece.

A Duplex owner decided to run a cafe in the CBD. It became very successful with people gathering all hours of the morning. I had an hour to wait for an appointment in town, so I sketched this on location. DS watercolour on 300gsm cotton.

I started painting during Covid, mostly flowers, and YouTube tutorials. Raised in Southern California, I have always loved the ocean and have, From the start tried, to tackle painting water and its reflections. Initially with no success. Persistence is the name of the game. I am quite pleased with this one!
