Whale Of A Note Card!







Like I said, whale of a note card are 3 different designs from the whale fest here in 
Mendocino. The originals are still up for sale at the store in Fort Bragg till the end of 
the month, then I will possibly put them up in my store. I am selling them individually, but if interested in a pack, please contact me and I'll put one together for you. Prints will  be available
by next month on each one.

Whale Festival In Mendocino, California



I had a chance to paint a few whales Friday for the whale festival here in Mendocino. Each one
is 24 x 30 on Aches 140 lb. watercolor paper. We hung it up in the front window of Racine's art store in Fort Bragg. I was planning on using the inktense but learned that they are not colorfast. Can you guess which whale is heading north now?

The Finished Leucadendron Watercolor Painting

Mendocino Laucadendron
Buy


I am really happy with my finished painting! The background makes everything pop and the two different shades of blue give it even more depth. In person the shades blend much better than it shows in the photo. Now on to my new project that I will hopefully have a start on before next week.

Painting The Background of Leucadendron Watercolor



I decided to paint the background of my painting even though several people said "don't try it!" I wasn't happy with it the way it was and well, it's just a painting. I'll start over if I have to but it would not have made me happy looking at it or even selling something that felt unfinished. I bought a new tube of cobalt blue and will finish it at the bottom with a windsor blue green shade.
