"Hanging On" by Debra Tritt Kreiger

Hanging On 3.5x5 watercolor on 140lb paper

This is a sweet little painting I did of  tiny sparrow hanging out on a rather windy day among the cattails! I had to really look for him because he blends right into the background. I believe this little bird is called a chipping sparrow. He has a wonderful song to sing.

Echinacea's growing in my garden by Linda Young

There are also black eyed Susans in my garden which keeps pushing these pretty little echinacea flowers around every year.  Every year I've had them, they have found a new place to grow away from the "susans".  You'd think the susans would get the hint:  The Echinacea don't like to be near you, so leave them alone!

Lemonade 25cents, watercolor by Linda Young

copyright Linda Young
"Lemonade 25 cents"
$300, double matted and framed

Due to not having much extra time to paint right now I thought this would be appropriate for the Daily Painters of Pennsylvania's challenge this month, Claire.  This is a painting I did two years ago for the "Lemon Show at CALC.  I used a photo reference from the world wide web and made it my own changing some details.

This painting is available for purchase; is double matted, framed and ready to ship.

When the world hands you lemons; make lemonade and serve it to the world.

Flash Dancers by Linda Young

Flash Dancers
7-1/2" x 11" 300# CP WCP

Cleaning up my studio, I found the "start" of a watercolor that was to be a painting five years ago.  I, however, gave up on it and it wasn't until the clean up today I evaluated it:  I had put an over-abundance of very bright colors in that underpainting. 
Because of the flashes of color that pond fish make in the bright sunlight, I kept most of them and attempted to paint the negative shapes.  Here's my submission for this month's Daily Painter's of Pa challenge that I call "Flash Dancers".

"Watching" By Debra Tritt Kreiger

"Watching" 5"x7" Watercolor on 140lb paper

I chose this scene because it is an everyday event from my studio. Lots of backyard wildlife for my cats to watch. Sometimes for hours! This is my girl Sherrie. She keeps me company while I paint. This was a real challenge as I had light from inside and outside bouncing everywhere and a warm orange cast from my blinds so when I painted the inside of the window it just wasn't white anymore.
