Spring Flowers in Watercolor, still lifes

Saturday unexpectedly turned out to be an awesome sunny beautiful day. Since I had to be at the studio anyhow to meet buyers I decided to paint as many watercolors as I could. Here are a few of the ones I did in the morning. I cut all these flowers, mostly Rhodie's, out of my yard and put them in buckets to take to the studio. 6x6 w/c on hot press arches paper sold

"Rova Road" oil , landscape painting

This was a hard painting to get an accurate image of . It's about as close as I can get.

A typical scene driving down back roads in the Pacific Northwest with the sun just coming up in the morning. The towering fir trees cut back in the middle for the power lines to run through.
I take all this in on my morning run before work, thanking God for two good eyes to see the natural beauty of His awesome creation.

I seem to be drawn to these "lonely road" paintings.........maybe because I am walking a lonely road right now........My girl away in Uganda for another year, faithfully serving God in ministering to the needs of the orphans and village children at New Hope Kasana. Bringing the love of the Father to the fatherless. I will be joining a team from Calvary Chapel South going out to New Hope in June for two weeks. I will share my adventures and hopefully my artwork of the amazing people and beautiful land of Uganda with you all as I have the opportunity.
