We recently visited Door County, Wisconsin, and took a lighthouse tour. It was very informative and we enjoyed it very much.
This is an experiment with honey watercolor paints and it made the forest look kind of magical.
This is my first plein air painting. I painted the background watercolor part at the park, using my new easel, then finished it at home. It’s also the first time I tried painting on a watercolor board.
After receiving some helpful critiques from fellow Art Guild members, I added some things that help to finish the painting.
It was a nice day out with my husband, finished with ice cream at Route 66 Creamery in Hamel.
I referred to this hymn in Yahweh Shalom. After deciding I would try illustrating a hymn, I chose this one. The ocean treatment is new to me, and I haven’t painted many people yet. I was happy to find a photo of Horatio Spafford, and he was leaning on something which I turned into a ship rail.
I was on our deck looking for the subject of my next painting. I looked up and thought the trees made a nice frame for the sky, so decided that would be it, and here it is! And recently I got metallic, shimmery watercolor paint so used that in this painting. You can see light reflecting off of some of the leaves.
