Going Nuts

Here's where I am now on this coconut tree. It's hanging in a frame on my dining room wall for "practice".I still have to fix some of my fronds- too transparent. Can't seem to quit painting coconuts- all different views and sizes.

Exploring Edges

This week I've been playing around trying to work with softer edges on flowers. Here are some samples. 

Jason's yard

While we were visiting Jason in January, I painted the first one one day while Emma was napping.  Two days later, it snowed again, so I sketched the second pic and painted it on the long airplane ride  home.  Haven't had the chance to paint snow too often.
