Tiger WIP II

I am slowly working on the bamboo leaves and decided to start dropping some color in the face.  I have a couple of ideas bouncing around in my head for new paintings so I would like to make steady progress on this one before I get to many projects going.

Tiger WIP & Lady Margaret's link at DPW

I have painted this tiger previously as an 8x8 inch.  Now I want to paint it large so here is the beginnings of the tiger painting as a 20x20 inch on a 1.5 inch stretcher frame covered with Arches watercolor paper.  Photo Credit: bridgetds at Flickr.com

I also varnished "Lady Margaret" without any difficulties and have posted her for sale on my DPW site.  Here is a link - http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/vicki-greene/lady-margaret/141473

Lady Margaret - Finished

"Lady Margaret" is finished.  This is a 10x10 inch stretched watercolor paper "canvas" and will be varnished.  I really enjoyed painting this one because she seemed to have so much personality.  Once the varnishing is complete I will list her for sale on DPW.

Lady Margaret WIP V

I am getting closer to "The End" of this painting.  There is still a considerable amount of work to be done on the hat but otherwise just some minor touchups. Thoughts/comment are appreciated.

Lady Margaret - WIP IV

I won't offer a lot of reasons and excuses as to why this isn't finished but I did want to post a WIP shot to show that I am still working it.  I have continued to work on the face and I have started the background. 

Lady Margaret - WIP III

The weather finally cleared up enough for me to take a picture of Lady Margret's progress.  There is still a lot of refining to do to the face and of course the hat, scarf and chest but it is moving in the right direction. 

Lady Margaret - WIP II

I have had very little painting time since the last post but to keep you updated and myself motivated I am posting what I have done. Lady Margaret is slowly coming together.

Lady Margaret - WIP

Here is my latest WIP.  Once again I am painting on a 10x10 inch stretched watercolor paper "canvas" and the painting will be varnished.  The hat I believe will take quite a bit of time and I probably will switch back and forth between painting the dog and the hat so that I will feel like I am accomplishing something.

The Pug - Finished

The Pug is finished and listed on my DPW site. Here is a link:  http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/vicki-greene/the-pug/126466

The painting is 6x6 inches and varnished so that it can be framed without mat or glass.  Thanks everyone for following along with my wip posts.  I appreciate each of you!

Pug - WIP

I am slowly developing the fur.  I think I will be able to finish him late tonight or sometime tomorrow. He has a couple of little light pink toenails that I am looking forward to painting.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.  The sun is shining but it is cold and windy here. (Well it is in the 50s but to this wimpy Florida resident it is COLD!)
