Gouache Painting: Along the Ocean’s Edge/A Day at the Beach
Here’s a gouache painting that needs no explanation! Can you hear the seagulls or the ocean? I hope so. I do love the beach.
Gouache Watercolor Painting: Long-haired Kitty
This is a gouache (opaque watercolor) painting of my kitty, Angel. She isn’t with us any longer, but the photo I snapped for this painting was taken one day while I was busy folding laundry on the bed. She accompanied me to every room of the house, which was unusal. That’s a dog thing, isn’t it? Anyway, she had perched on the window sill and was intently studying something, or someone, outside. To me, she looked like a very intense yet contented daydreamer!
Gouache (opaque watercolor) Painting: Roses
It’s still too early this year for the roses to be blooming, but I had hardly wait! I love painting and drawing them. This is a gouache painting I did of some fantastic pink/yellow roses growing in my neighbor’s yard. (Someone said they are called “peace roses”, but I don’t know if that’s accurate.) Although I do love them as subject matter for art, actually tending to them as living beings is far too time and energy consuming for me. I leave it to others to do that part, and am grateful they do!
