January Frozen Winter Willows

My friend Ceci and I went out on a sunny cold day in January and much to my surprise the entire painting froze. When I brought it inside I kept it flat and touched it up a bit when it was dry. Created a whole new look - maybe winter frozen painting is a new technique for me:)  Matted 20"x 16" - $140

6 am

This is a view I wake up to most winter mornings, when there are a few clouds in the sky and the sun is just coming up. Not a bad view to wake up to, I feel so lucky.  Matted - 20" x 16" - $200

February Willows

It was colder than it looks, as when I was painting this the top half of the watercolor froze, if you look closely you can see the crystals. Matted - 20" x 16" - $175.

Footprints & Willows

March painting of footprints on a frozen lake near our house - the willows add such great color. Matted 20"x16" - $125

Fall Colors Hanging Out

This is a fall painting of our clothes line. The day was full of color and created great shadows.
Framed 27" x 23" - $250

"Stellar Jay"

The Stellar Jays are always the first in the morning to the bird food, beautiful colors and fun to watch. They are only here in the winter. Matted  20" x 16" - $125

"Fluffed Up Junko at Ten Below"

I painted this on a very cold day in February, this little Junko was sitting on our porch railing for quite a while - staying warm. SOLD

Winter Colors- Red Groosebeak

We have many winter birds around our house and this is the most colorful. I did a series of bird painting viewing them from our living room window. They add such color to the winter whites. SOLD

Fetcher's Barn

Last summer our daughter Allison and her fiance Aaron got married September 5th, near this barn. They asked me to do a painting of the barn in early May thinking they might want to use it on their wedding invitation. I went up with my painting friend Ceci thinking spring (I had lots of fresh green watercolors at the ready) and we arrived to full on winter. It was 34 degree and snowing - we did a quick painting and left in a blizzard, it was too wintery to use for the invitation - but gave a good story. Matted  20" x 16" - $125.
