Little Bluebird by Latane

Bluebirds, to me, means Spring. And, boy, am I counting off the days til Spring. My little bluebird is happy sitting the fence post looking for worms. 

                                                Done in watercolor 
                         and joining with other artists on Paint Party Friday


The Pretty Grey by Marie

We visited a nearby farm a few months back and one of the horses we took photos of was a favorite when the shots were posted on my main blog.  Mom asked for a painting of him, and so for her birthday I gave her this portrait in oil.    Joining in with Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday:

The Clothes Line by Latane

Michael McVean's theme for this week's Scribble Picnic was 'tablecloth'. Right away I thought of seeing, when I was young, my Mom's Sunday tablecloth hanging on the line in the backyard. So, that is what I tried to do. A watercolor on 9x12 paper.

The Bench by Marie

I was inspired by a bench in front of a colorful fall tree in the gardens at Ft. Vancouver, and did this watercolor recently from a photo.  It looked like a lovely place to sit and have some quiet time.  Joining Eva and Kristin's  Paint Party Friday:


Fog In The Valley by Latane

Thinking of craggy mountains and fog settling in the valley.

A Sketch by Latane

Mr. Hedgehog has made his way to the kitchen. He is hungry and smells hot chocolate, so he climbs up in a chair to have a taste. Oh wow, there is toast, too. He's a lucky fellow this morning.

Joining the folks over at Scribble Picnic. Thanks Michael for hosting this delightful site.

Cardinals In The Pines

I love to see the bright red cardinals when it is bitterly cold outside. Just brightens things up so much.

                                     This watercolor was done on a 8x8 watercolor paper.

Dark Eyed Juncos by Marie

My daughter asked me to do a bird painting for her in shades of teal, turquoise and grey.  I did this one in oils for her for Christmas of these Dark-eyed Juncos in the snow.  Sharing with Eva and Kristin's  Paint Party Friday...

A Walk In The Rain

Where was my head this morning? It is Friday! Right?   Guess all this snow has me addle-brained. But, finally here is my entry for Paint Party Friday

This is a painting of my grandson and his dad walking to the car in the rain. The photo was taken several years ago and is one of my favorites. So, I gave my daughter and son-in-law this watercolor for Christmas.
