A day in the peony farm

A Chicken a day Series in Watercolor

 I have  been doing A Chicken a day Series.  This is a painting of a chicken each day for awhile and selling them for the bargain price of $68. 5x7 matted to 8x10 and shipping included.  I am thankful to say they are selling well. It takes me the better part of a day to Paint one, the one above is True Love. Whimsical and fun.

This painting is a watercolor palette knife painting.  I have been taking a class from Carrie Jacobson , oil palette knife artist from Wachapreague and I am doing it in Watercolor. It is fun and kinda impressionistic .We are all well and i hope and pray you and your families are well . Love and blessings to you, Diana

Cardinal and Peony

Female cardinal  comes to my kitchen window and tells me to fill up my birdfeeder. To me she is more beautiful than her mate. I love the soft colors. This painting is 8x10 and $115 plus tax. The peony is the same size and price. I can ship to you. Hope you are all well. Will this virus ever end. Yes. I know. Love to each of you.,Diana

OWLS

Hi Everyone , this is my watercolor CLASS at Norfolk Botanical Garden.  Owls, we had live owls from Nature'sNanny,  it was amazing.  After a few warm up techniques the owls came in and we all took tons of photos and sketched them and pained them from life. I was in awe of these amazing owls and all the students  did a great job painting them. Here is my painting  from that day. Demo. I love nature. Love to you, Diana
