Maegan in the morning

This is a new watercolor I have been working on the past couple of days.
"Maegan in the morning" is my Mastiff, Maegan.
She is such a pretty girl. She seems to change in appearance from day to day at times and from week to week at other times.
Just last week Chris asked if Maegan was getting fat, I said, "no, she is just maturing". This week she is looking very lean.......
I have not experienced this type of growth in a dog before.
My Great Dane, Harley continued to grow and mature until about 18 to 20 months of age, but it was not as noticeable as Maegan's changes.
This picture was taken about a month ago. Maegan always has sad eyes.
Doing a drawing or painting of anything "straight on" is difficult, but I felt the picture really captured her personality........
bright, loving and SMART!

Morrigan In Color

If you scan all the way to the end of my blog you will see
Morrigan THE Mastiff which I did for my friend Jim.
I took that drawing and enlarged it,
outlined it on watercolor paper and here it is, Morrigan in Color.

Autumn Curves

This is a watercolor I finished this morning.
It is of a very old Japanese Maple.
The photo I used came from a magazine, so no this is
not my yard.
I think all my work looks better in person.
So, soon I will be sending out information of the Fall Festival in Bremen where I will be having my work on display.
I am going to be busy, busy, busy.

Update on Waterlilly

I posted this watercolor of a waterlilly a while

back. Since then I have worked on it a little.

My instructor showed my how to give it more depth.

What do you think???

Bubba in Color

This is Bubba is watercolor.
I have been working on getting my courage up to do this.
So I took the drawing that I did, held it up to a window and traced the outline of Bubba to my watercolor paper. Then I painted it.
I am pleased with the way it turned out. The waves in the page is due to the back ground not being completely dry when I scanned it.

BUBBA

My Bubba is a seven year old Dachshund.
He is my baby and he is so spoiled.
I did this pencil drawing of him and it is my favorite!
He is such a handsome guy, even with his mulitple scars.
Bubba has a bad habit of sticking his nose where it does not belong.
He knows he is top dog here (to me) but all my other dogs do not seem to understand that.
Poor Bubba!
