"BLUEBELL"
14''x10''

Both of these do seem a bit too purple...well, looks like I got carried away with a new Daniel Smith shade Lunar Violet..especially with Bluebell! I need to work a bit more with the color to get the hang of it.In the Donkey painting I have used Quinacridone Magenta (Daniel Smith) with French UM Blue and burnt orange. This Magenta is the richest color in my paint box..I love it. Add it to DS Moonglow or simply any blue of your choice to get brilliant shades of purple :)

Horse portrait in Watercolor

This is Jerry, a funny looking but beautiful horse painted in shades of gray and purple.I especially liked painting the hair!Wet in wet watercolor, with a little bit of salt on the muzzle; it was done on a block of Saunders Waterford.I did not feel the need to paint the background at all.He looks fine on his own,doesn't he?
