Winter Treat

Winter Treat
9" x 12" watercolor - framed

Some winter days make me so cold that I need to warm up from the inside out. That's when I reach for some hot chocolate and my favorite pottery mug. For a real treat I add a couple of Oreo cookies. In this piece, I used the warm brown shadows to show the heat of the chocolate as it warms my hands and slides down my throat, offering protection from the winter cold represented in the cool blue surface the mug rests on.

This little bird showed up on my deck railing to enjoy a winter snack served up on a peanut butter coated pine cone. He was all fluffed up against the cold, but seemed to enjoy the easy pickins. He may be small, but when he invites his friends over they can wipe out that pine cone pretty quickly.

Season's Reflections

Season's Reflections
12" x 10" watercolor- framed

One of the few things I collect (besides art supplies!) is glass Christmas ornaments. I love the way they catch the tree lights and seem to magnify their shine. Many of my ornaments were given to me as gifts or purchased while on vacation with my family. As I unwrap them every year, they bring back wonderful memories. I love reminiscing about the origin of each ornament as I decorate the tree. In this painting I tried to capture those feelings in the warm glow of the lights reflected in the star.
