                                                     Lemons

   Lemons are a bright sunny little fruit to paint.  I tried to show the translucency in the lemon slices and the seeds behind the thin skin on the slice.  Um-m-m-m, I could eat a slice of home made lemon meringue pie right about now.  Yum!  Or, have a lemon based margarita.........!

   This painting is an oil size 6x8 on canvas panel.  To purchase, contact me at ahoffpauir26@yahoo.com.  www.ArtworkbyAnn.com

  Ah, veggies!  How many of you have had your mother say “eat your vegetables”.  But turnips …. well, I like’em.  These turnips are from my neighbor’s vegetable garden.  I like the purple on their tops with a light pale yellow on their bottoms.  A natural nature color compliment.  Turnips are a fun and interesting  subject to paint.

  This painting is an oil size 8x10 on canvas panel.  If interested in this painting and a good recipe, email me at ahoffpauir26@yahoo.com.  www.ArtworkbyAnn.com

   In this painting I used the three primary colors only and let them mix on the paper.  After it dried mostly, I used negative painting is some areas.  To keep the colors fresh, I slightly enhanced the colors.

   Looks like the sun could be peeking through the trees. 

This painting is a watercolor on 140lb. paper, size 6 x 4 1/2.   The price is $75.00.

Roseate Spoonbills by Ann Hoffpauir

                                                    Roseate Spoonbills

  The Roseate Spoonbill is a very colorful bird.  Their unusual bill gives it its name.  They use their bill to scoop or spoon up small fish and whatever else they can catch.  These spoonbills were painted from photos taken while staying in Rockport, Texas.

  This area in Texas is a migratory gateway for several species of birds.  It’s a wonderful area for bird, wildlife artists and photographers. 

   These spoonbills are painted on 140lb. watercolor paper.  The size is 5x71/2.

The price is $75.00.  Thank you for viewing my art.

White Pelicans II

                                                           White Pelicans II

  These white pelicans were painted from the photos I’d taken in Rockport, Tx.  It is the second painting of these pelicans.  As the sunlight changed and the pelicans swam in the water, I tried to capture those fleeting moments in my painting.  In this painting the colors are much warmer.  How quickly the moving sunlight can change things.

  These white pelicans are painted on 300 lb. watercolor paper.  The price is $75.00

White Pelicans by Ann Hoffpauir

                                                       White Pelicans

   Pelicans look like they can be an awkward and clumsy bird.  In flight pelicans are some of the most graceful of birds.

   My husband and I were in Rockport, Tx. not too long ago.  Some fisherman was cleaning their catch of the day and the seagulls were diving into the water for their catch of the day.  Not far away from this entire seagull action was these white pelicans.  I took several photos of the activity going on.  In this painting I liked the way the pelicans are back lit.  Even though it was a very warm day, the shadows of the pelicans in the water appeared cool.

   This little painting is 5x7 on 300 lb. watercolor paper.  You may purchase this painting for $75.00.  Thank you for viewing my art. White Pelicans

Great Egret

 The Great Egret is a showy bird.  The white feathers of an egret make excellent subjects to paint.  They seem to pick up color from their surroundings and at other times they just have very subtle color change.

  In this painting I chose a lone egret in the evening light, maybe it’s his last feeding before the end of the day.

  This is a watercolor on 300 lb. paper.  It is size 7x5.  You may purchase it for $75.00.

Thank you for viewing my art.
