Tiger

I still have much to learn in painting fur but I certainly enjoyed working on this tiger.  He is an 8x8 inch watercolor. 

Many thanks to bridgetds at Flickr.com for allowing me to use the photo for reference.

1st Painting of the New Year!

I think that I have almost forgotten how to post.  My DH has had repeated hospitalizations since the end of September the last one being the day after Christmas until this past Wednesday.  While I haven't had time to work on a large painting, I did manage to finish this little 8x8 painting, working a few minutes here and there at the dining room table.  This adorable puppy came together literally one spot at a time.  I have mounted it on board and am in the process of varnishing it.  Once varnished and framed I will post another picture.  Thanks for looking!  I hope that every one's New Year is starting off with renewed hope and creativity. Thanks to Maja Dumat - flickr.com for the reference photo.
