Seahorse

     I did a few small watercolors during the week that my computer was being repaired. Below is the original watercolor (approx. 4" x 7") and above is the image after I had some more fun with it using my Wacom tablet.

Evening on the Arno River

Another larger (18" x 24") oil on canvas that I did because I liked the way the miniature version turned out.

Lane at Villa Le Montanine

    

  12" x 16" oil on gesso board

     I had done a miniature 2" x 3" painting using the same reference photo and I liked the way it looked so I took the plunge and went bigger.  The photo was taken in Italy this past October where my step-daughter got married.  This is the lane leading away from the villa where we all stayed. I don't have a lot of experience with landscapes but look at me go! Haha!

October in Tuscany

     Here's a 5" x 7" oil painting on clayboard that I finished last week. I took the reference photo as I was strolling around outside Villa Le Montanine. Beautiful property, beautiful time of year, and me trying to wrap my head around the fact that I was in Italy!

Illustration Friday - DISGUISE

My contribution for Illustration Friday -  5" x 7" oil painting that I did a while back.

     

Ed's Cottage

This is an 18"x 24" oil painting on gesso board of a beautiful little cottage owned by my friend Ed.

I thought I'd include some of the stages.
