My SWAP painting!

I am a member of a watercolor group that quarterly does a SWAP.  The paintings are not posted until the recepitent has received her/his painting in the mail.  These painting come from all over the US and internationally also.  It really is a delight to receive and to give and we all are very excited as we post our paintings!  This SWAP I receive a painting from Susie Short from the state of Washington!  She is a terrific artist and also has instructional DVDs on her web site @  http://susieshort.net/home.html
She just released a new DVD called "Making Waves" and I am excited to have received an original watercolor from her with one of these terrific waves!  Now I want the DVD so that I can learn to paint my own waves!  I just wanted to share my newest treasure with my blogger friends.  Have a great week.

Oh Vicki, this is a beautiful painting. What a nice swap and I'm sure the recipient of your painting is just as pleased. !!

Thank you Barbra Joan. I guess I could have posted the painting I sent also but I didn't even think about it. My recipient had some very kind comments about the painting she received and I will post it next post for you to see.

You lucky duck, Vicki! To receive a painting like this from Susie is just super! She always does such a wonderful painting for her partner. I have received one from her which I will always treasure, as I am sure you will treasure yours, too.

Very interesting paint! I had a look at her blog and it's just a treasure itself!
Very lucky you (but am sure it is also the one that will receive from you!:D )

Thanks Susan. Yes I feel very luck indeed. Good to hear from you Loredana! Yes Susie has a lot of helpful info on her site. I will post the painting I sent on Thursday since I will be off from work.

Oh Vicki I love love love this piece! I'm such a California girl (stuck in Arkansas) so this piece takes me right back to my relished moments at the beaches of Orange County CA where I grew up. I think this piece is more like Huntington Beach :) Wow what a gift to your swap partner, so light, alive and a perfect ocean painting! *jealous*

Ok re-read it so you received this! Congrats LOL! See? I'm so sure your recipient received and equally excellent piece!

Vicki Greene said...

Thanks Erika. I will post the one that I sent out today. But I did order the DVD so maybe one day I will be painting waves as lovely as this one - lol.

Thanks for showing us your Susie Short wave painting, but you never mentioned which of your lovely works you had offered in the swap and whether it went to Susie or another member of the SWAP group.

You are right Joan and I will do that right now. Thanks V
