Copyrighted 2008. All rights reserved by artist and no unauthorized copying is allowed.

My husband and I travel all over the countryside taking photos of subjects that interest me. This is a view of our barns, 50 feet from our house. Typical. I really liked the lichen on the old walnut tree and the hay ring leaning up on its side. It just seemed perfect for a watercolor study.

This is a break from the norm for me, but it has been running around in my head for a while so I finally decided to paint it. I think the great looming distorted house looming threateningly above the girl, shows the dread that the girl is feeling. I think we have all felt this way at times.

I love the colors and textures on this Beta. He always swims around like he owns the tank. And he does, since no other fish can live with him. Just look at his expression and the set of his stubborn mouth.
