Tulips Waving Watercolor Painting Flower Art Still Life Garden

Watercolor on stretched canvas, 12" x 12" x 3/4".

I experimented with a different approach to a watercolor in this floral painting.  The canvas I used has a special sizing that accept watercolors and the finished painting is sealed with a clear acrylic protectant which is archival.  The surface of the canvas accepts the paint differently than paper.  I think I like the way it stays more on the surface of the painting and it's also much easier to "lift" the paint back to a lighter shade or even back to white.  I really appreciate the fluidity of watercolors, and in this painting, I had a great time shaping the tulips and leaves with a feeling of energy and movement.

Thanks for visiting and your comments are welcome!
The 3/4" sides are painted making framing optional.

Robin and Nest Oil Painting Bird Portrait Art Animal Wildlife Spring

A friend of mine has a robin's nest in a pot hanging on a wall outside of her kitchen window.  Both the male and female were taking turns sitting on their eggs on the rainy day when I was visiting.  It was serious business!  I really liked the expression of this parent.  Three blue eggs were inside, so there may be another painting from this visit.

Lop Eared Rabbit Watercolor Painting Pet Art Bunny Portrait

Watercolor on Arches watercolor paper, 6" x 7.5".

I sometimes forget how much I enjoy painting bunnies.  Their rabbit eyes are very distinctive and appealing.  This guy's nose was a winner I thought.  I built (painted) his fluffy coat and soft ears with several transparent layers of watercolor which gave him the softeness that I wanted.  His coloring was also something I enjoyed working with.

Little Buddy Oil Painting Pet Portrait Art Miniature Donkey Burro Farm Animal

Oil on Canvas, 10" x 8" x 3/4".
Miniature donkeys still have their thick winter coats at this time of year. Lots of currying is needed to make this little guy slick for the summer. His mane and ears can be trimmed too, but I sometimes prefer the fuzzy look. The 3/4' sides are painted making it ready to hang without framing if desired.
