Baptism of Bella Owens

Portrait
10"x11"

I was fascinated by the joyful look on this girls face after she was baptized in the river. The sun shining on her face and hair added to the fun when painting the shadows and highlights.

The Kettle

I enjoyed painting
"Keeping the Home Fires Burning" so much that I decided to paint the kettle using a limited palette.
This is an 8"x8" acrylic on wrapped canvas.

Fire Still Burning

Here is the finished painting. Below is the photo of the source.
I had a difficult time showing the glow of the fire. I think it will be fun to challenge myself with painting fire.

Little Buddy

Animal
6"x8"
Watercolor
This antelope was hanging out with the one I posted below so I gathered that they had to be best buddies.
For some odd reason they liked to stay under the huge electrical lines. I decided they enjoyed the hum they give off, or it could be that they like to be in big open areas. Fun to watch.

Animal
7"x10"
Watercolor

The Antelope live and thrive on the open fields in Arizona. They are swift animals, so fun to watch run.
This watercolor is unmatted and can be found for sale on my dailypaintworks.com site.

Purple Flowers

Floral
16"x20"
Watercolor
matted
Image size is 11.75"x15.5"
This was another "stained glass" watercolor. The textured effect on the green shapes was made by putting salt on the wet paint. The salt draws up the pigment making little stars.
