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.

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!)

Daydreamer

Finally finished!  I am calling him "Daydreamer" (his real name is Toolie) and there is a sweet story about how Toolie and Linda met at the photo credit link.  This one has tested my skills but was so much fun to paint even if I did hold my breath several times during the process.  I have posted some photos below to show the sides of the "canvas". It will be for sale on my DPW site and here is a link - http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/vicki-greene/daydreamer/123073

Varnished Watercolor

10x10 3/4 inch wc paper "canvas"

I have made a bit of progress on the cat but it seems that this past week was not to be one for painting. I was overtaken with interruptions and am actually pleased that I accomplished any painting at all.  Sometimes when I am working on a larger piece (yes 10x10 inch is large for me) I can only look at it for so long without needing a break so I started another small cat painting (5x5 inch) to give my brain a resting place.

I also am posting a picture of my wolf that I finished recently because I won 1st place in the painting category at the ALNF's 8th Annual Member Art Show and I wanted to share that with my blogging buddies. 

This coming week isn't looking any better for painting time but I will try to grab a few minutes here and there.

If you have ever been to the beach, you have seen her.  

You know the one, the great looking girl with the long legs and great body, turning heads as she walks by. 

I saw her and knew that my Beach Daze Series would not be complete without her.

So here she is............

Varnished Watercolor

Here is my latest watercolor, "The End of the Day"!  It is 5x5 inches, mounted to gesso board and varnished. I have attached several pictures of the frame also.  I will be putting this on the DailyPaintWorks site today for auction.  The painting will come with this lovely 4 inch frame and be ready to display.  The total size of the painting and frame is 13x13.  Thanks to Ani Carrington @ Flickr for the reference photo.
