I love that house, it has my name all over it. Are you a professional artist? If not, you should be.I like to paint buildings in watercolor.

I thought it was a dogwood but I'm no tree expert and it was some time ago. Actually, I don't normally sign to label my work. I plan on doing it more often because it nice to have a timeframe and a label to give me a clue as to what I was striving for.Is it a cherry or apple blossom tree ?
I like how you name, sign and date your work. For some reason I rarely sign my work but adding the date and subject is a good idea.
I like it.
Thank you. I have been in something of a slump lately but I find inspiration in the work shown here. Your paintings are full of passion and promise.Great detail - a beautiful rendering of a fine home.
Thank you Mellpw. I do a lot of note cards with houses, churches, kids and pets. I also do things like herbs with recipes on the back. Haven't done much during the pandemic except for a Christmas card. This forum is inspiring.I love that house, it has my name all over it. Are you a professional artist? If not, you should be.
And you did!!! Beautifully so!!!!This was a portrait taken from an old photo of the widow Varina Davis. My hope was to capture her sad yet defiant spirit.

I don’t know who Mr Walker is, but I like what you did!!!
The link brings me back to this thread.I hosted a private art show last night. I've been experimenting with abstract art - combining my experience with watercolors and new media. It was a fun night - lots of positive feedback, opinions and a touch of controversary to make the night interesting.
Here is the link to my latest work. All comments will be appreciated.

Very strange - and I tested it too.The link brings me back to this thread.
Your drawings are excellent .. I especially am drawn to the character's eyes.
Thank you for you great comments. The pictures are not very large - about 5 by 7Hey rcleary....I clicked on your Solstice link and and my favorite on that page was the blue/blk vertical right under the title. It just works great as an abstract with some interesting lines and composition.
But I was particularly WOWed by all of the ones you did in the Cosmos section!!!!!! I loved everyone of them! Beautiful. What size are they? Are they for sale? Actually, I think you should reproduce them as giclee prints and sell them that way because you'll regret letting them go if you sell them as originals.
Thank you for your great comments. The paintings are not very large, about 5 by 7 inches, (Frames 11 by 9). The Cosmos series is on display at a local restaurant. If you are interested in purchasing a painting, I have very reasonable prices.Hey rcleary....I clicked on your Solstice link and and my favorite on that page was the blue/blk vertical right under the title.

Very interesting observation - the red dot was intentional, so for good or bad it calls itself for attention. The two eyes were simply accidental.My favorites in the Cosmos section are "New Moon" and "Mercury". The only minor thing is that there are 2 little "eyes" in the middle of the "New Moon" that are grabbing too much of my attention as it looks like a black bug a little but it's probably just me.
Same with the "Mercury" one where the red dot in the center of Mercury is grabbing too much of my attention...again, may be just me. I'd move it a little off center but don't change it as I may be the only one that feels this way.
It works for me now .. your work "speaks" to me - drawings, photography, all of it.
Looks like awesome results to me!I enjoy watercolor paintings so I decided to give it a try and see what I could produce.
That was quite a comment! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.Looks like awesome results to me!
If you want any feedback on the first post, I feel there is a disconnect in tension, the horse's mouth says he is in pain, but the eyes don't show an equivalent amount of unhappy emotion. And the horse and reins indicate that a hard stop has just happened but the rider doesn't appear (to me) to have enough muscle resistance/tension to indicate he is riding a hard halt.
But the artwork is beautiful! I love the forelock and bit of mane sticking out all random and wild.
Your work is beautiful too Keesha. Some talented artists on the forum!Very nice work rcleary.
Water colour painting is the most challenging medium of all painting styles since it’s the least forgiving. Mistakes aren’t easily fixed.
I dabble in water colours. Here is some of it
