Cedar Waxwing by Latane

I evidently took a break from painting. Christmas just took up my mind and time and then along came January!! But, I sat down yesterday and whipped out this watercolor of a cedar waxwing. Maybe I can get back on schedule now.

Mocking Bird by Latane

I haven't been painting as much lately. I had this one that I did some time ago from a photograph I made in Petersburg, Va.  Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a happy New Year.

Two Birds by Latane

October is slipping away from us. This morning I felt Fall in the air. That's alright. I like the changing of the seasons. 

Now for a couple of birds for you today. This one done with graphic pencils.

and another, in watercolor.

The Mountains by Latane

While I was at my son's house in Alabama for a nice long visit, I painted this watercolor. I've been told I do landscapes the best... but I do enjoy doing birds and flowers, too. Hope your week was filled with fun, happiness and art. Linking with Paint Party Friday

Swallow-tailed butterfly by Latane

I am visiting in Alabama but I brought along some of my art supplies. This is my attempt in watercolor of a swallow-tailed butterfly. Linking with Paint Party Friday

An older work

Working on an oil painting of an osprey so I decided since I am not done to  post this older piece, one of my ceramic tiles from years ago.  This is a four-tile piece with pomegranates, gingko leaves and berries I gave to a dear friend...… Also, below is the matted watercolor of the little grey bird I shared two weeks ago, ready to give away... Sharing today with Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday.

Red Barn by Latane

I had this visit planned with my son in Alabama for a few weeks and what timing is this!!! I escaped Hurricane Florence. It's nice and dry here and hot and typical south. I'll take that any day over what the people on the east coast are facing.

I haven't done any art since my arrival last Monday afternoon. My son is on vacation and we've just been laid back, taking life easy. I did bring my art supplies with me, though, and will get back to it very soon.

This one is one from my archives....

I think I have posted it before but my laptop does not have many pictures of my artwork on it... so I am desperate!!

A Little Sparrow by Latane

I love sparrows. There are so many different varieties and I can not keep up with which is which but I enjoy them nonetheless. Hope you enjoy this little fellow. Linking with Paint Party Friday

Smith Rock watercolor

I painted this small watercolor (6x6) for the "gift basket" at the Farmer's and Artisan's Market.  The winner will get something from every vendor.  Smith Rock is a tourist attraction for hikers and climbers here in Terrebonne.

PPF Please remember that there will be two artists submitting paintings at this site almost every week!   You'll see the same header when you click on latane as when you click on mine!  Just scroll down....

Sunset at the Beach by Latane

I had not painted in several weeks... just first one thing and then another... but I sat down the other day and did this watercolor of 'Sunset at the Beach'. Linking with Paint Party Friday

please remember that there are usually two of us on Paint and Palette who submit two separate posts on Friday. Check to make sure you see both. Thanks.

Little Grey Bird by Marie

I did not go to the Market to sell things this last time (it meets twice a month) but will next time.  On the day I went when I had the wonderful sale of my oil of the cougar and cubs, a fellow vendor gave me a gift.  She had made coasters out of some of her photographs and gave me one of a small grey bird. "Here," she said, "Maybe this will give you some inspiration."  I decided to paint a picture of the bird and give it to her.  Here is the watercolor I did.  I'll have it matted and give it to her...will re-photograph it after the matting.  Joining in with Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday.

A finch by Latane

If I don't get busy painting I am going to run out of something to post about!! Lazy I guess. 

Here is an older watercolor. A finch I saw sitting on a branch. I love doing birds. Linking with Paint Party Friday. Thanks, girls, for having a great place for all of us to display our work.

Red, Ripe Cherries by Latane

Not much time to paint lately. Been on a long visit with my daughter in New York. But, I do have some paintings which you have not seen....

So here is one!!

A Sale! And 2 more postcards

The day at the Farmer's and Artisan's Market had lots of "lookers" and no buyers until an hour before closing when a woman suddenly declared she had to have my largest oil painting for her husband.  I was thrilled to make this first sale:

Though I didn't sell any of the postcards, I was encouraged to make two more this week, and plan to work on both watercolors and an oil in the coming weeks ahead.  Sharing with Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday.  The two newest cards:

Three Sisters mountains with local barns and red-tailed hawk

Smith Rock with Mt. Jefferson in the distance

The Newest Postcards

Here are two more postcards (roughly 4x6) from my recent work, ready for sale tomorrow!  Joining Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday:

Mt. Jefferson

Smith Rock

Two More Postcards

I still want to make several more, but these 4X6 watercolor postcards are for sale at the Farmers and Artisans Market along with a few of my watercolor and oil paintings...  Joining in with Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday:
