“Coke Bottles” 11″ by 14″ watercolor on paper. This painting is one of many of the vintage soda bottle paintings that I have planned, after a very successful shopping trip to Granddaddy’s Antiques.

“Cheerwine” 11″ by 15″ watercolor on paper. Vintage soda bottles are my new obsession. Let me know if anyone knows of some I can borrow. I’m especially wanting to borrow or buy some old coke bottles… the ones with the molded glass, not the printed logos. I love the start of a new series! Painting features three bottles: a wonderful old Cheerwine bottle that I borrowed from my brother, a glass coke bottle, and a clear glass wine bottle.

“Glass Carboy,” big 22″ by 30″ watercolor on paper.  A blue glass carboy sits with two oversize mason jars on my kitchen table.  I’m having so much fun painting pictures of glass.

“Three Friends” 15 by 22″ watercolor on paper.

15″ by 22″ watercolor of a pair of irises that I photographed in the neighbors’ yard last spring.  What a welcome sight they will be again in a few months.  I’m so bored of the snow and the cold.

11 by 15 watercolor on paper.  I love the way this one turned out.  The sinuous, almost accidental look of the  delicate dark patches, the butterfly almost seems to jump off the paper until you look closer and see that it’s just a watercolor.  One of my favorite in the series.

11 by 7 original watercolor painting on paper. See companion piece Pressed Purple Flower II.

White orchids done from a photo that I took in Arts Frames and Accents. I do love windsor yellow.  I always mix up my greens rather than purchasing one, and windsor yellow and prussian blue look so nice together.

15 by 22″ watercolor on paper.
red tropical flower inspired by many I saw in Fort Myers, Florida.

15 by 22 watercolor on paper.

A bright yellow tropical flower painted from some I saw in Florida.  I really like windsor yellow.  It creates the most lovely blooms on the paper, and no, I’m not talking about the flower.  A bloom in watercolor is where the paint is partly dry and then you go back into it with water.  It creates a beautiful artifact, almost like soap and oil, where the water was dropped.
