Sunflower Splash

I painted these sunflowers as a class demonstration using medical gauze to create a textured imprint for the centers in this watercolor.  Sunflowers are a wonderful sunny flower to use in paintings.  I don't know about you, but they can brighten my day.  My style is much looser in this painting which I really enjoyed.

Ann Hoffpauir is a full-time artist from Orange, Texas who paints in a realistic style. Her superb paintings, done in different mediums, reflect a wide range of subjects.  She knows when she has hit the mark when there’s a balance between moods, look and feel.

 

Although she works in many mediums, in this workshop Ann will be teaching watercolors, because she finds the spontaneous qualities of watercolors lend themselves very well to a fresh painterly approach, allowing the painting as a whole to engage the viewer as it conveys a sense of mystery and beauty.

Purple Iris

  Hello folks.  I have been off the blogging and face book posting for a while due to unforeseen circumstances.

  Now that I’m back, I would like for you to view a small painting I’ve done recently.

This painting is a watercolor, size 7x5.  The purple bearded iris is one of many type flowers I grow in my yard.  One beautiful characteristic of the bearded iris are the thin velvety petals.  When the iris is back lit, the petals are almost transparent.  These irises have a licorice aroma.  Not only eye candy for an artist, but smells like candy too.

  You may purchase this small 7x5 watercolor for $75.00.  It is painted on 300 lb. paper.

Thank you for viewing.
