Australian Flower Dedicated to Ron
This is a rather stylized version of a beautiful flower my friend Ron in Australia posted. The minute I saw it I had to paint it!
You will have to go to his site to see how gorgeous it really is and its name...thank you Ron or sharing this beauty....:)

Iris Brochure
This is my painting used in the brochure of the Tri-County Iris Society.....a nice ''Welcome to Michigan'' for me.
I just barely got my scanner to work today...and wish I could have posted this BEFORE the show! ...:)
I wish I could have attended the show...but had people here helping me move that day...:)
By the way,...the show was in Lansing....:)

White Echinacea
This was done in the following steps...pencil sketch...paint...ink..more paint...more ink.
The background was done on wet paper...then paint...then WATER SPRAY MIST...more paint..more spray..tipping paper...letting it run and some blotting....:) Why I called it a fun painting...:) One of my favorite things about Watercolor....so many techniques that make the magic!

WATERCOLOR & INK
These are seen in deserts and mountains in California and Baja, Mexico.
I was so inspired by my friend Eric's wonderful photo....and although I never truly try to copy anything exactly, you can see a resemblance...here is his Flickr address where you can see his photo and also some of his great work...:)

ALOE BREVIFOLIA
I love the Aloes and all succulents, cacti, and similar plants.
When I saw these in Southern California, I knew I would have to paint them someday...:)
This is Watercolor & Ink. I used both black and white ink on this one.
The black is done with Pigma Micron pens.
The white is done with Uni-ball Signo pens.
