2026 Still Life #1 and commission Update...

$145 (unframed) 4x6 mini original watercolor
Available to the 1st person to email
(framing 81x10. $35 - shipping available at cost)
If unsold by 2/25 the price goes to $225.

Gunston Hall, VA .  This is unusual paper, called Indigo Art Paper, it is thick pulped paper which gives heavy texture.  It also does not allow me to move water around, tends to lay on the top.  Very hard to work with.   
I am focusing on some still life paintings.  Working on these AND some larger ones.

The first show of 2026 is behind me.  Set up went well, we are like a well oiled machine!  Each knows their job.  A full 12x12 booth up in 2 hours!  I do this show as a support to Lititz.  Not my best selling show but my booth looked great and I saw a lot of friends.  Closed early on Sunday so we packed up in some drizzle and went to the Bulls Head with another artist and his wife before the snow started.


Commission Update:  If you scroll back to the 15th you can see where I left off.  I had thin yellow washes.  Again, taking my time to build the fabric and folds.



Even more washes of yellow,  I am pleased with the way that is looking.  I also started one sock AND I drew in the unicycle (free-hand) and planted her feet..
