Sunday in the Art Room

For Sunday in the Art Room, I am sharing some of my favorite creations. Some of them I still have but some of them were sold. 

After taking a watercolor class with Wayne Spradley, I did a few "foggy farm" scenes.  This is one of my favorites.


This little "beach" scene sold before I even had time to finish it.  But I did finish it before delivery. 




Blue Fall Reflections
This one started as "leftover paint" on watercolor paper. I put the paint on the paper and "smooshed it" with (I think) waxed paper.  When I pulled off the waxed paper I saw trees. 
It didn't take a lot to finish it. 

This was a project from a pattern (yes, I did change it!) 
I gave this one as a gift to a friend who was having a rough time. 

Transcend
This was painted after taking a class in abstract/non-representational painting. 
The intention was a fully non-representational painting.  But inspiration struck and I added the tulips. 
This hangs on my bedroom wall and I see it before I go to bed and when I get up. I love it.





Until Next Time,  
Stay Creative

Since I’m just learning watercolor, I am truly impressed with your work! The foggy farm scene is my MOST favorite. It would be on my wall before I had a
my camera out! 😊, but your smooshed paint landscape is ingenious. I love any surprise result like that. However, the tulips look the most “Gene Black-ish” to me, lovely as always!

Wow Gene. These are amazing. Not only are you a wonderful quilter but you as talented a painter. I enjoyed seeing these. Have a super new week ahead.

OMGosh! Gene your talent is quite abundant. You know I can't watercolor very well at all. These are magnificent! That first on is just gorgeous. I love the wax paper tree scene too. However, that last one that hand in your room. WOW! I wouldn't sell it either. It is stunning. Thank you for sharing with SITAR and have the best Sunday.

Great work but I agree... the first one is the very best! Oh. I took watercolors all the way to Madeley/Perth and... there they sit.

Wow, Gene, I like them all, but the foggy farm is my favorite, with the Blue Farm Reflections being a close second. Thank for sharing your creativity!
