Portrait of our dogs, watercolor (of course) 2007.

this is a portrait of Bess,a newfoundland/Great pyrenese mix and Lexie and Flo our two border collies. they're learning how to be sheep herding dogs .Bess is beyond being a guard dog and has become a big pet.







Ice cream cone 2006
this photo looks a little bluer that the actual painting. I really like ice cream , it only seemed right to paint it.

last week I decided to get up early and go plein aire (sp?) painting . Our whole pasture was full of water and the sunrise on the water was amazing! the cold air was invigorating , so was the mud I had to walk through. I only did one small sketch (not pictured)before I was freezing.Here is the painting I did back at my studio/bedroom. It was really fun , I don't mind mornings and the display of God's glory was worth the early rise, and the freezing.
















Here is a painting I started the other day it's not quite finished, and this photo isn't the best. It's alot of wet on wet I kinda like it.

new painting

snowed in

hello, from Faye, welcome to my blog, I don't really have much on here now, but I hope to get more paintings loaded.maybe even some for sale ? my brother will have to help me with that one. ( he's a computer whizzz. ) I haven't done too much painting , I've kinda lost my inspiration. But tomorrow is another day, and I'm snowed in . To help me get inspired I picked up my Grandma's magazine International Artist, it's really great , lot's of neat paintings and painters. I have some inclination to paint , now I just need a subject , maybe the snow? It's beautiful I saw one huge drift today that had a huge lip ,like the end of an ice cream cone or whipped cream!
