Three pears watercolor, about 18 x 24
I love artichokes. My Mom use to fixed them stuffed and they were out of this world! I haven't perfected Mom's stuffed artichokes yet. This is a watercolor in progress. I still have a few leaves to paint.
This is a 10 minute sketch I did as an example while teaching a kids art class. It's oil pastel on black paper. They did a great job on their stillife drawings. I wish I had photos of their work.

The title of this relief print is "The Debt's Been Paid" This is a four color reduction wood cut done on a discarded ceiling fan blade (not exactly wood but press board). In reduction printing, you ink the entire board with the desired color, ie yellow, and print it. Then you cut away from the board the areas you want to remain yellow. Ink the board with the next color, ie pink, and print over the first color and only the areas you cut out remain yellow. Continue until all colors are printed and there's not much left of the board. Does that make sense?

This image is a watercolor titled, "My Father's House". It's an abstraction of a church birdhouse my Dad made before he passed away. He had taken up the hobby of making birdhouses and he gave me this one. The painting has a double meaning...being a house my earthly father built and now he lives with our Heavenly Father in His House.
This one is titled "Trinity I" and is the first in a series on the subject. The medium is watercolor collage

Well, for my first one I decided to post a painting I recently sold. It's titled, "Nativity" and it's the story of Christ from birth to resurrection.
