Splash of Colour

Sometimes it is necessary to just go wild with colour... and I suppose this is the result. I'm starting to see more and more trees turning colours out here. I can't wait until the full colours come out... its like a second spring.

Sunny Days a Coming

This guy has been keeping me busy the last couple days, a bit larger than usual which allowed me to get more detail in the eye and in the body. Lots of fun! I also loved painting the water drops on the leaves. My one weak spot, and something I really need to practice drawing, are the little toes on these guys. It is hit and miss with me when it comes to them. I tend to do them better in oil paint as I can go over it a few times until I get it just perfect. Watercolour is not that forgiving (though, I could invest in a tube of opaque watercolour for times like this).

Flower Days

September, so far, has been a pretty slow month for me... I've been working on some larger paintings so I haven't been posting quite as much. I finished this little guy this morning, though he has been on my easel for a couple of days. I wanted to try some softer, more subtle colours... and I think I accomplished that.

Her Royal Highness, Finished!

I put the final touches on this kitty tonight... though, obtaining a decent picture of it proved very difficult. I'll take some better pictures (with close up details) tomorrow when I have some daylight.
