373 Subtle Shimmer

As I was studying the feathers, I realized that there are very subtle colors to the "black," even though it may appear to be all black.  The feather on the left is a good example of this---it was all black, ...but not really.  I wanted to paint the others feathers in colors other than their natural colors for a little variety.  There are subtle metallic glistens in this painting also.   

Painting can be framed as is in a standard 8x10 frame, or matted and framed to your liking.

372 Peacock Feather

Although I am enjoying painting with watercolors, I don't think it will take the place of my acrylics.  I have been experimenting and "playing" with different products.  This painting has a hint of metallic water color and it glistens in just the right places.  Unfortunately, it is so subtle that it doesn't show up in the photograph.

I am re-learning a lot about watercolor and enjoying this experience

370 Feathers

Watercolor was my first love, artistically.  It has been a very long time--decades,  since I broke out the water colors.  It felt pretty good to revisit this old friend.  I have always loved birds and have collected feathers for many years.  These are a few from my stash.

368 Marigolds, Chives and Hosta

"Spring" is at least a month behind schedule.  This Memorial weekend I enjoyed working in the garden, feeling my hands in the dirt and planting a few plants, among them marigolds and chives, hoping to keep the rabbits away.  It's a constant battle: Diane vs. The Rabbits.
