SWAP Painting That I Sent Out

This is the SWAP painting that I sent to my SWAP partner, Lenora in West Virginia.  Her response was very kind when she received it.  She said, "This painting is a soft sigh, executed with a brush and paint."  Those poetic words felt good!  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Bleeding Heart Vine in Colored Pencil

Here is a little colored pencil sketch that was inspired from Leslie's Drawing A Day Blog.

You will have to scroll down to the end of September or first part of October to see the neat little recessed borders that she does.  Anyway I wanted to give one a try and this one is done on taupe mat board that is 5x7 total (including border). It was really fun to do and I would not mind doing a few more. Thanks Leslie for the inspiration!

The watercolor to the right is the painting that I sent to Jane in Pennsylvania for my SWAP group. This is "Sunny" my betta fish that keeps me company in the studio as I paint.   Each quarter we paint a 5x7 or 7x9 watercolor and Rhonda   http://rhcarpenter.blogspot.com/ draws names and we send them off while we wait for our suprise to arrive in the mail.  Thanks Rhonda for all of your hard work.
