Gouache (opaque watercolor) Painting: In Honor of the Cutest Dog Ever
This is a gouache (opaque watercolor) painting of Keebler Alf, my dog. He died on Friday at the age of 18, and I miss him. I’m posting this painting in his honor.

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!
Original Gouache Painting: “The Teddy Bear Sentinels”
This gouache (opaque watercolor) painting is of my son. One night, when he was little, I went into his room to make certain he was covered up and sleeping peacefully. He was, and………I felt as if I was being watched! All those eyes staring at me! All his precious teddy bears (the sentinels!) gathered around this little boy, in his red and white seersucker jammies and baseball cap, as if they were guarding him through the night. Adam is an adult now, and I still hope he has guardians (of a higher level than teddy bears) watching out for him all the time, not just when he’s sleeping.
