WIP Kaleido-doodle-do

Hi! It has been a while since I have been here. Lately, I have been working on sketching a large painting of roosters. Roosters in a group? Impossible? No, not when my mind thinks it up. Remember, my paintings are pure fantasy and that makes it fun. My friend Janet thought up a great title so I am going to do a painting to match the title. I have other titles from friends too. They are so good with titles. This sketch might look a little messy at the moment but as I paint and change things, I erase all of the pencil lines. I will post as I go along. The image size is 17.5" x 23.5". It will be matted into a 24 x 30 double mat. Stay tuned.
PS I tried to darken it a bit so that the lines will show

Coming Along.

I painted on this yesterday while everyone else was watching the Super Bowl. The fruit at the bottom will be persimmons. I was afraid that it would look too much like my Sweet Persimmons painting but it doesn't. I don't have a bowl in this and the rooster is different. I sold the sweet Persimmons right away so maybe this one will be grabbed up too. I put some Prismacolor pencil over the watercolor in a few places to punch up the color. It works! The size is 17.5" x 23.5".It will be placed in a 24 x 30 mat.

A water pipe broke in our house today and flooded our guestroom and our water heater went out so today hasn't been a good day. Amazing how you miss running water when you don't have it. I brought in some ice cold water from the pool to soak the dishes. Hopefully, things will be back to normal soon.

What I Did Today On The Painting

For some reason. The image of what I did today didn't show up on the last post so I will post it here.

More Done On Rooster Kaleidoscope

I got to work on the Rooster today. I also did a little bit on Sunday. This painting and my other new paintings will be earth tones. I am trying to stay away from my beloved blue backgrounds. Funny because I don't have any blues in my house but I hang these up on my walls and they look good. I don't paint to match furniture but alot of people buy that way. I wonder how many I will sel

l with the earthy backgrounds? This measures 17.5" x 23.5". It will be matted in a 24" x 30" double mat. It is a mixed media...watercolor with some Prismacolor pencil to add a little punch to the colors.
