"THE GANG'S ALL HERE"    16" x 20"   Acrylic

I've returned to painting cows again. Puttering with the watercolors was a diversion, but I find enjoyment in reflecting personalities in the animal world. These guys are youngsters from a mixed herd who graze together. It won't be long before the heat of the summer dries up the grass. I kept a warm palette to suggest the area and season.

"TRANSITIONS"   4 3/4" x 6 1/2"   Watercolor

Watercolors provide unexpected results. It is fun to experiment with a wet canvas and gently mix colors. I had no intended object to present, but made just a few brushstrokes with the primary colors. Admittedly it is not spectacular, yet the abstract can suggest several possibilities for interpretation. What think ye?

"RISING TO THE LIGHT"   4 3/4" x 6 1/2"   Watercolor

Still experimenting with watercolors, the detail of salt added to a wet canvas adds interesting and unexpected results. The small marks could represent birds in flight or small fishes at a coral reef, or perhaps maple leaves tossed in the breeze. It's a bit of abstraction that I enjoy and love the bold colors expressed.
