Claybord Still Life with Iris

                                                       "First Irises", 7"x5" Oil on claybord
These are the very first flowers to bloom in my garden this year.  They pop up just ahead of the crocuses. This is the same vase I did in watercolor yesterday.

This is the first time I tried one of the claybord panels.  It seams a bit dry, but then I didn't put a primer coat on the panel before starting.  I still need to work on getting the vase a little straighter.

Wapoos Island, Lake Ontario

                                            "Bob Kayaks", 5"x7" Watercolor on 140#Arches
I have been wanting to paint this for a long time.  I struggled with the reflections and getting the water dark enough.   I love painting skies.  They always seem to cooperate.

Chickens!

                                           "Chickens", 2.5"x3.5" Watercolor 0n 140#Arches
I painted these a little bit ago.  I lightly sketch the chicken outline, wet inside the pencil line, and then drop in color. I love how these come out.  I'll have to do a step by step of the process in the future.
