Gone Fishing

Ahoy blog mates!!!! I am going to put on an exhibition and sale at my Studio (Studio L) of sea-related watercolors towards the end of August. I'm just starting to paint and am working on these four watercolors. They are all about 90% complete. Each one is 11 inches by 13 inches on 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper. I'll be painting fish, birds, sea mammals, jelly fish, and waves. Between now and mid August, I will be posting my efforts.

    Hey, Evie! Thanks. I'm sure at some point we will bump into each other here in Sacto town (and a beautiful town it is!). Best of luck with your fabulous animal activities!

    Rhonda, I know that if I had a cottage by the sea, I'd put them all up on my walls, but since I don't, I'll sell them!

    Thanks, Benco. That is exactly my goal in painting these. I would love to snap my fingers and end up on the Falklands for a week or so of plein air painting!
