This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Jean was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of great photos.

Just couldn't resist the colorful rooster! Plenty of thick paint for texture!
This was a lot of fun to paint!

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Ai, from Thailand, was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of colorful photos!

I settled on doing the rider. The toughest problem was trying to straighten out the shadows and legs as I eliminated the "horse whisperer" walking on the other side. Then, making up the background is always a challenge for me.

Here's the original photo

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Oty, from Greece, was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of colorful photos!
 I thought the beach scene with Christos was great! I wasn't overly cautious to get everything just right...I was after expressive looseness (actually, I was short of time tonight... ). I just kept adding notes of paint attempting to match the feel of the ref.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Dewi was the super host with super reference photos.

I really liked the concentrating cat! I wondered what would he be looking at so intently?? So I added the guest.

Inviting Spot-Street Scene

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. A super watercolorist name Kay was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of colorful photos! She issued a challenge to paint a subject that you don't normally do. I painted something I haven't done very often...the sidewalk scene. Nary a dog, lion, or cow to be seen ! I enjoyed it once I was into it.

I used a lot of painting knife plus heavily loaded brush work to give this piece an impasto texture.

C&C welcome. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
