watercolor: prints available on FineArtAmerica.com These beautiful birds were my subject when visiting the Holden Arboretum one day. The Arboretum is a sanctuary of plants and wildlife and gives many classes on how to plant, grow and maintain a garden. And I have taught painting classes there as well. |

Living in Ohio offers a year 'round relationship with the Canada Goose. They feed near the ponds all summer, and often stay over in winter, keeping part of a pond unfrozen when they can. They are graceful birds, beautiful flyers and everyone slows down when they lead their young across the road, with the drake keeping careful watch over his family. |

 Here's Lookin' atcha! Image 30" x 40" on watercolor canvas (gallery wrap) Well, Here's lookin' at you too! I found these beautiful animals on a day long Safari in South Africa. The painting is on watercolor canvas and measures 30" x 40". It is painted around the edges to eliminate the need for a frame or glass. I found that the grasses were more of a challenge than the animals! |

Image: 10.5" x 15.25" My students love to paint birds' nests using the glazing method. Of course this requires lots of masking and many layers jof wet washes AND hairdryers. Many times we have blown fuses and tripped circuit breakers! The results of this method are colorful layers of twigs intertwined. Most of them have not been dark, but have been more transparent washes. I painted this one with many more layers to give it the nighttime atmosphere. |

In a visit to the San Diego Wild Animal Park, we fed the giraffes on a photo safari through the park. What an experience! If you have never fed one, don't miss the opportunity.
