This weekend, I experimented with 3D Fabric Paint on top of Watercolors. What do you think?
First we have 2 manatees in the water. Then an abstract rendition of flowers with a bird who flew into the scene.

Another manatee (couldn’t resist)
I was thinking of manatees again today. This one is out there in the warm waters of Florida. Watercolor on 5″ by 7″ card.

Thanksgiving Manatees (Crystal River, Fl)
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.
