GIVEAWAY Watercolor Paintings

Hello Friends,

I know I already posted here today about World Watercolor Month starting. So…I decided to go ahead and do a little sketch on a small 4″ x 6″ piece of watercolor paper I already had cut from my 300 lb. Fabriano watercolor paper. There is just one thing…this is a 2 for 1!

The first painting I did is this one, the front view of a bloomed rose. (I haven’t done flowers in a LONG time!) So if you don’t like the rose, you can turn it over to find…..“Suzy Sea Turtle” (that’s what I’m naming her.) AND…

I AM GOING TO GIVE HER AWAY!!! This is something I have never done on my blog or my Facebook art page, but I thought it might be fun. Keep in mind, though, that the background color behind Suzy looks a little bluer in the picture than it actually is. I mixed a little French Ultramarine with my Thalo Crimson for a light wash which makes a nice lavender, but I’m still getting used to my new phone’s camera getting the colors accurate.

———————————

So here’s what you do if you want to win Suzy and The Rose:

Leave a comment and/or like the post. Then I will put your name in a hat and pick a winner.
Watch for the winner to be announced on Wednesday, July 5th, 8 a.m., Pacific time. Once you know you are the winner, you can e-mail me at larrytheleatherback17@gmail.com to give me your mailing address, and I will get Suzy and The Rose mailed off to you next week, okay?

Thanks a lot everyone!

Have a wonderful day, and give someone you love a big hug! 🙂

Flower Friday

Here’s a photo I took in the spring of last year of the thistles that grow around our fish hatchery. I have not drawn or painted it yet, but plan to eventually. So that is all for today, no drawing or painting.

Also, I am thinking of my parents today. I believe it would have been their 63rd anniversary if they were still here. Rest in peace Mama and Daddy. I love you and miss you.

Have a wonderful day, and give someone you love a big hug! 🙂

A couple of weeks ago I began drawing circles using a stencil, but this is what became of them! It resembles an interesting jellyfish, I think!

Have a wonderful day, and give someone you love a big hug! 🙂

MORE IRISES

My Iris paintings were done from photos. A dear friend of mine named Andrea had these in her backyard. She had her so take the photos and give them to me to paint from. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to give the paintings to her, because she passed away unexpectedly. Whenever I look at them, I ponder the dear friendship I had with her for over ten years.

Have a wonderful day, and give someone you love a big hug! 🙂

Here’s a watercolor of the yellow flowers I took a blurred picure of for just this purpose! Only they didn’t turn out very “abstract” did they? I almost saved them for Flower Fridays, but what the heck? Happy Wednesday!
