Gouache Painting: A Hound at the Horse Show
This is a gouache (opaque watercolor) painting of a beautiful hound dog (I’m not sure what breed) sitting in front of us on the lawn at the recent horse show. She, obviously, could have cared less about what the horses were doing and kept staring at the kids in our group as if to say “Oh please, let’s go play.”

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.

Watercolor Painting of Creek in Spring
I’m so glad spring has arrived. This gouache (opaque watercolor) painting is of the creek north of my home. The trees are just now sending out new leaves and everything is beginning to bloom again. I’ve got to get out with my camera again today!

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!
