Mary B Spires Watercolor & Art Stuff

I painted a small cooler one a few days ago.......I can't believe how different the look!                   6"x6" watercolor

I'm really getting into this challenge - I'm using Keys to Drawing by Bert Dodson This is a wonderful book it plays on "drawing on the right side of the brain" by  Betsy Edwards .... I probably have given this book away about 20 times over the years ..... Since ice been playing around with oils my drawing has gone down... 

                   6"x6" Watercolor This was painted from a photo from the Yampa Garden.....a painting at ever turn.

        6"x6" transparent watercolor I've given myself a year long challenge....draw every morning while having my coffee.....paint a small 6x6 watercolor.....

Can't believe how many chickens and  Rooster are running free!!!! This takes "Free Range" to the next level.....I actually chased this guy into the bushes at a McDonalds in Maui...                       6x6 watercolor

                     6x6 watercolor       Painted in the Tuesday Morning class with Donna Noice ....  So much fun visiting with old friends.....

6" x 6" Transparent Watercolor I'm in Ohio this week, visiting my family.  My brother is in Chemo.....we lost our older brother, father & mother with cancer.  It is in the family.  I had breast cancer 25 years ago.....I was lucky.  We are having a family get together on the 4th....everyone will be there, except my great granddaughter Gigi.  She visiting her grandfather in Florida.  We will miss that little smiling face.   I got to paint yesterday with my friends at Donna Noices watercolor class at Robert Warrens Art Loft.....this was painted from a photograph taken in Steamboat Springs.
