Arctic CHAR


I did another variety of trout, this time, and Arctic Char. They, of course, are native to cold waters and capable of going to great depths. The more I read about these fish, the more fascinated I am with them. Also, the differences between them. some go from salt to fresh water, some not. Some can live at 1200 feet in depth, others stay closer to the surface. The image is about 8x15 and they are matted to fit a 16x20 frame.

chickens



When I was a kid, we had chickens. I loved the sound they make when they are happy and contented , kind of a "kwaaaa,kwa,kwa", sound is how I would describe it. They have the best time scratching in the dirt for bugs and worms and eating grass. They seemed hungry for their salad in the spring. They are quite territorial as well, especially the roosters.
I have done several chicken paintings and have some prints as well as originals. Most of them are acrylic but it looks like watercolor.

Swinging



I am inspired to do some different things, and my Goddess series shows that. This image I call "swinging" for obvious reasons. It's small,only 8x10,matted and framed. This is rag paper and watercolor pen.

Arrowsic/seguin, maine



For years I had looked at this scene from the highway thinking how serene it was and wanting to paint it. Finally, one day I followed a small road and there it was. The barn is very old, probably close to 150,maybe older and there are several houses scattered around. It's surrounded by tidal marsh which to me is very mysterious.
This is acrylic on watercolor board,matted and framed. Image size 14x18

Grace



sometimes I just have to do something different, and when I saw this great rag paper with it's brilliant color, well, I was hooked. There are shadowy shapes in the paper and I embellish them with watercolor pen, and there you have it. Grace is one of my favorites and shehas been sold. I have more paper, but there will never be another Grace.
