Birds, Roosters

I have been painting more scarves. Just so happens they all have to do with birds! You can see these as full, longer hand painted silk scarves on my WatercolorsByMarian website.




I decided that I should attempt one of my more popular watercolor images on a scarf so did the birdhouse one.






Then my friend at work suggested I paint a rooster scarf because his sister likes roosters.

Silk Scarf - Redo of Lavender Fields

I repainted this scene on a smaller silk scarf and this time I did not use any gutta/resist in the fields. So in this scarf the fields do not have any hard lines. They blend together and look more natural I think.





It is from a photo I took in the south of France near Gordes. You can see my first attempt in an earlier blog. I love the lavender in France:)

Shells for Christmas



Painted these using acrylic for my Seaside Christmas tree. They also have glitter that you can't really see in the photo. I've done a few different designs but these are my favorite. White poinsettia from a photo on the internet. (For my personal use only.)

Atlantic Station



This was painted on-site this weekend at Atlantic Station. I loved the orange reflections in the lake from the apartment buildings. The trees were starting to show the same orange. I pushed the colors and like how it turned out.
