I have done a fair amount of painting this last month, some of which has pleased me, and, of course, some which is not what I intended. In between has been some sewing and photography.
The paintings in this gallery were done mostly in July and are in both watercolor and gouache. I have been doing water studies for the most part – some still, inland water – some oceans and shore. For years the subject intimidated me, but now it is getting a lot easier. From water on the ground I have also moved to water in the air – fog, rain.
Now I plan to pull out the pastels and try these same subjects in a very different and unwet medium.

Beautiful work. I like especially Mist on Lake Riley, Misty Morning and Oregon Coast.
Just goes to show that, when you put in the time, you get results. Keep it up!
A very good month for your paintings! Look forward to the pastels!
Wonderful paintings! I especially like the second one down on the right. The colors are great!
Thank you, Anne! Don’t know if you are aware, but if you click on a picture, a slide show can be used to view them.
Thanks, Fraggy! Me, too! Gotta a lot on the ole plate right now, but soon, soon. ;0
AV – thanks! I plan to. It brings me a lot of pleasure.
Laura Kate – so glad you like them. It is really rewarding to know that people like them!
Reblogged this on Art, Photography and Poetry.
Hi, A stunning set of paintings. I particularly like ‘Mist on Lake’ Riley’; I have shared the work attaching all the appropriate attribution and links; and re-blogged the post; scheduled for Friday. Best Regards.
Ooh, I like these a lot!!
Thank you so much, Liz!
Glad you like the work, Goff!
Beautiful paintings. Water color is a very difficult medium for me. I have done two in oil pastels, relatively easier. Your work is outstanding. Looking forward to the pastels.
Pleasure. Great post; loved the images. Happy Tuesday.
You’re most welcome!
Lovely artwork… the gentle touch of wildness reaches out to you…
Thank you! Glad you like it. 😉
Amazing artwork! I like all of them – it’s a beautiful nature to unwind for the day!
Thanks, Leif. Glad you like them! Mother Nature is the best.
