Here is a series of watercolor miniatures I did for Christmas framable ornaments this past Christmas.<br />
<br />
<br />
Each watercolor was 2"x 3".<br />
<br />
<br />
I love to paint Christmas anytime of the year. It is my favorite holiday.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bears and birds are some of my favorite subjects to paint.jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06718235854017453481noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850260911786446190.post-3075774193867175882010-05-10T20:58:00.000-04:002010-05-10T20:58:33.995-04:00Looking at Color<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4HLSIWjnqWs/S-iq6JNIB_I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/oD_OFz4srvg/s1600/floral+study+with+bird.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4HLSIWjnqWs/S-iq6JNIB_I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/oD_OFz4srvg/s640/floral+study+with+bird.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Sometimes doing a limited color palette can be challenging using more sophisticated colors. However doing this exercise helps keep watercolors current. These are inspired with the colors of May and Mother's Day.jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06718235854017453481noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850260911786446190.post-21893938012156323962010-04-14T21:21:00.000-04:002010-04-14T21:21:34.609-04:00Spring Flowers Fill my Page<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4HLSIWjnqWs/S8ZnNV7D2QI/AAAAAAAAAFE/aa5d3S0mbsM/s1600/Spring+watercolor+flower+spots.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4HLSIWjnqWs/S8ZnNV7D2QI/AAAAAAAAAFE/aa5d3S0mbsM/s640/Spring+watercolor+flower+spots.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
