Rock's Easter Tulips


My husband, Rock, gave me this pot of tulips for Easter.  They were so lovely and I just had to paint them.  I painted this on 1/4 sheet of 140 lb. Arches cold-pressed watercolor paper.  I used mostly sap green, quinacridone rose and Payne's grey watercolors.

White Pitcher with Peaches


I finished this watercolor recently - as you can see I am having trouble painting with my bad shoulder so the background is a lot looser than I intended.  Instead of fighting with it I decided just to leave it alone.  It isn't something that I will show, that is for sure!!! lol  It IS good to paint though, even though the work is not what I am happy with.
