Fall Birch Goes To Show

Fall Birch watercolor

On Wednesday, The Northern Arizona Watercolor Society (NAWS) had take-in for the main Sedona Library Show. This I call a “Fall Out Painting.” It accidently falls out of me onto the paper; thus, the reason for the different painting style. Sometime I have the idea for an experimental painting and it “falls out.” Most often they are fun; as this one I enjoy the end results. Wish you the same happy experience.

Sedona Library Fund Raiser

4 – Cottonwood AZ Afternoon Monsoon
Sold

Sedona Library Fund Raiser

By the title of this 8 x 10 oil painting, the inspiration was during our monsoon season. During this time we have beautiful skies, sunlight and moods. This was a fun painting. Best of all it sold for a good cause.

FASO BoldBrush Competition
Just posted Santa Fe Cása in FASO Bold Brush Competition. This is a monthly artist’s competition usually drawing over 800 artists. My intent for this watercolor was to document the New Mexico architectural history. As the artist, I can keep the story behind old wooded gates yet remove the signs of modern technology. For me, this paint captured the portrait of this Santa Fe Cása in watercolor. Enjoy. Mary Dove Art
