I was just thinking of koalas this weekend and this guy came to mind… He is watercolor on a 5″ by 7″ watercolor paper card.
It’s the first of January, 2015. New year with existing paints. Wanting to make 2015 a happy and healthy year, who better to depict that than happy dolphins swimming toward each other? Happy new year to all my blog friends!

This weekend, I thought about the beautiful Birds of Paradise that seem to roam all over Orange County, California.

Hope everyone enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving holiday! This Thanksgiving, I had the opportunity to go to Crystal River, Florida. What a great place! With temperatures between 40 and 55 degrees, it felt like Thanksgiving. And we got to see manatees in their natural habitat. Of course, to see them head-on, you need to swim with them but if you are patient enough, you can see one or two bobbing out of the water to get a breath. Very cool creatures who are gentle giants.

Just returned from California. This time, I brought a portable art kit of gouache paints. This guy was the result of my first use of the bright, bold colors.

I also like these Blue Footed Booby Birds. So one was my muse this weekend.

I am still on a manatee kick! Look at these guys. Who wouldn’t want to see them in the wild?

Here are two manatees swimming in the warm Florida waters. The little one on the right is thinking of something amusing but we don’t know what it is.

Last weekend, I saw such beautiful flowers growing on Balboa Island, very close to Newport Beach, CA. I took several photos of them and this is a painting that was done based on the photo. You can see the photo also in my blog as “Crystalline Rose”.
