digital watercolor painting using a photo I took of our cat as a reference. I also posted this on my "Digidame" blog but that was an earlier version. I have tweaked this one a bit and signed it.

Samantha

I painted this from scratch using Corel Painter X. I used John Derry's water brushes I just received from his webinar on august 28. These are great brushes for the watercolor effect.

Lillies

I took a photo of theses beautiful lillies at Quailcrest Farm in Wooster Ohio. Then I painted them in corel painter.

Ethan

I created this in Corel Painter X from my own photograph. this is my great-grandson ,Ethan. He loves bugs.

Lady sings the Blues

I painted this yesterday with Corel PainterX using a tutorial by Jeremy Sutton from his book'"Painter Creativity" and a photo I found on the Wet Canvas website. Jeremy's tutorials are great and I have learned a lot from them.

Native American-charcoal drawing

I drew this from a photo I found on you tube of beautiful Native American men. I love doing faces but need a lot of practice. I don't get the proportions right so I do a lot of erasing. I'm going to do some live model drawing at the Peninsula Art Academy on May 30 with a group so hope to pick up some pointers.

Granny Smith Apples

I painted this digitally on a black canvas from my own photo, with oils and Real bristle Brushes in corel Painter X.

Apple Blossom time

I went for a walk down the lane that is across the road from my home and photographed some apple blossoms. they are so beautiful I decided to paint them with my Corel Painter and this is the result.

Rose-breasted Grosebeak

A charcoal drawing I did today from photographs in Birds and Blooms magazine.

Amaryllis

I edited my photo of our amaryllis. pretty.

"The Red Dress"

This is done on a gallery wrapped canvas. I applied tissue paper and pages from a magazine to the background and painted the tissue paper black. I then drew on the face and painted it with acrylics and added some white and black charcoal. This is the first painting I have done since before Christmas. I guess the mood just hit me today. I have cabin fever pretty bad and doing my art sure helps pass the time.

I'm thinking about adding something to the top right area. Can't decide. Any suggestions?
