Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

My entry today for Paint Party Friday is a watercolor of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in North Carolina. 

It is the tallest lighthouse in the U. S. In 1999 erosion over the years had caused the lighthouse to be just 15 ft from the water's edge and so was moved to a higher location. It's located in Buxton, North Carolina on the Outer Banks and is a big tourist attraction. 

Post Card Art by Marie

Joining Paint Party Friday with two small watercolors:

Two weeks ago I had a table set up at the Farmers and Artisans Market on Crooked River Ranch to see if I could sell some of my paintings.  But, no takers.  Sometimes it takes a while to find your possible market.  In the meantime, I thought I might be able to sell something smaller and less expensive.  Our area attracts visitors, and we have many sites of interest to them.  I did two post cards, roughly 4X6" (which is very small), of watercolor paintings of two places nearby, and I plan to do quite a few more....

 I plan to pre-stamp them so the buyer won't have to make a trip to the post office, they can just drop them in a mailbox.  I will sell them for $3.50 apiece.

This scene is Deschutes River Canyon on Crooked River Ranch, Oregon.  It is actually behind my property and down a steep hill!

This one shows The Three Sisters mountains, with a treeline in the foreground.

Here's what my table looked like...

I'm Back!

I don't think this is a new share...I did this painting many years ago and I think I posted it early in my participation with Paint Party Friday, but in case you missed it, here is an oil of a great blue heron at sunset on the James River (Virginia).....I haven't been painting in almost two months but plan to get at it again this week, so I will have a post of new work next Friday!

Mr. Bunny Hop by Latane

A charcoal and graphite sketch I did some time back. I do love to sketch but for some reason never drag out the materials to do it. Maybe I need to rethink that.

Little Garden Gate by Latane

There is nothing like a gate to make you want to open it, walk through and discover what's on the other side. I painted this from an image I found on the internet. And, yes, I know you should not copy other peoples work!! But, I couldn't resist and I think this is my favorite watercolor that I have done.

Blueberries by Latane

Nothing like blueberries in the summertime! 

I'm joining Paint Party Friday today with this entry.

Two by Latane

These two are not new, just stuck in my archives hoping to get out... and so here they are.

This one is a pastel I did a couple years ago of a tree by a stream. I'm not fond of pastels but that was all the art supplies I had at the time. 

And, this one is a mocking bird in watercolor. I think the tree leaves should be reworked, don't you? They just don't seem to fit.  But, I'm okay with the mocking bird. Yep, come to think of it... I am going to rework that tree branch and leaves. 

Have a super weekend. Joining Paint Party Friday
