11.25x17.5 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper that I painted yesterday afternoon, wet in wet. As dry as it is here, had to keep wetting the front and back plus keep a towel over areas not yet touched. I felt sorry for the pansies as hotter days tend to make them droop, wilt, and die, so they can live on in art and have a party doing so!

30x22 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper with Daniel Smith paints.  I grew several black hollyhocks outside my studio door but no blooms this year thanks to the drought.  In my photo the bloom is more dark blood red, but with this one I've gone to the dark side and have pushed color, exaggerating where necessary.

15x22 watercolor on Italia acquerello 140 lb cold press finished today. Using one of many petunia photos taken in April during our plein air garden trips, this one was hard to get going as it is a light/midtone with not that many darks. I might have to go back in and glaze here and there but for the most part this daily painting is done. It is full of discreet abstract shapes of wilted blooms and twisted leaves if you look closely.  Email me kay1971smith@aol.com for more information or visit my blog to purchase via PayPal, credit card, or personal checks http://kaysmithbrushworks.blogspot.com

15x8 watercolor painted wet in wet as a demo for one of my kids classes; this work is now SOLD. Email me for more information about this and other works kay1971smith@aol.com

“Winged Royalty” ©2011 Barbara J. Mason 16"x20" ” carved watercolor painting This time of year I love seeing the monarch butterflies just before they migrate south to warmer climate. Their free spirited flight and bold colored wings are captivating to watch. In this painting I have carved and manipulated the paper to give the butterfly wings a 3-d effect. When the image is viewed up close different portions project and stand out from the background. Your eyes are suddenly following along with the movement of the paper folds creating a colorful pattern of flight, much like that of the "winged royalty" monarch butterfly. I have several of these uniquely "carved watercolor paintings "available at "Spirit of Texas" art exhibit at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, TX. The exhibit is open from Nov. 4th through Dec. 31st, 2011. Opening Reception: November 5th, 11am-4pm http://dutchartusa.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=390_398 E-mail Barbara ...

Saturday Afternoon 11x14 original watercolor by Liana Yarckin blog website facebook When living in London, I loved passing by and sitting at the neighborhood pubs which were always garnished with the most beautiful flowers in hanging baskets, window baskets and pots.  One would think that it was a garden nursery, not a pub.  But, every pub showed off their green thumb as if in competition.  This photo was taken on a Saturday afternoon, the lunch crowd gone, but, a few lucky people sitting around enjoying the weather, the setting and maybe a pint.  If you have a favorite pub, call me, I can paint it for you.

The Artist Of Texas are busy Painting! _________________________________________________ The Artists of Texas 3rd Annual Show: "The Spirit of Texas" November 5 - December 31, 2011 at the Dutch Art Gallery 10233 E. Northwest Highway, Dallas, TX 75238. Above is one of my watercolor paintings that will be in the Dutch Gallery exhibit, titled: " Spanish Flag Morning Glories" by artist: Barbara J. Mason . This painting was inspired by a photograph that I took early one morning just before dawn when the morning glories were still sleeping. Their colorful petals had not yet opened fully and they were covered with dew drops. Morning Glory flowers open late in the day and often only last for only one day with fresh new blooms daily. I was attracted to the vibrant colors and the reflections within each dew drop! The name of this particular morning glory is "Spanish Flag" because of it's colors ! After completing the painting, the flowers resembled...

15x22 transparent watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, the second time I've painted this floral set up in my dining room.  I sold the first version that was a bit different.  This has more yellow cosmos, forsythia, and purple buds just as my silk arrangement has.  This image was chosen for a poster by one of the largest museums.
