This painting found a home

I've been gone for two weeks taking care of some family business so haven't gotten to post anything new.  I did sell this painting just as I got it back from the Pearl Museum show of award winning paintings from the Watercolor Society of Houston's International show.  I guess "everyone loves a winner" isn't just a saying!  It made me very happy considering that I wasn't able to work for two weeks.

More noodleing on the Cara portrait!

I couldn't help myself on a little noodling on the Cara portrait sketch. she is such a lovely girl and you just want to try to make her as perfect as she is....it's hard to just leave it, as you probably know if you are a painter. Sold

Just to catch you up as to what I've been up to...

I reworked the color on this piece that I like so much...different that it is. I don't know that it makes a big difference as I really don't know why I like this piece so much in the first place. according to my site meter I get a lot of people viewing my blog each week...I would love to know what you think about this piece. Please feel free to comment even if you don't particularly like something. Cheers, Tonya

Photos as promised!

These are the two paintings I sold at the Market Street show. This little nude watercolor, 11X15 on Arches cold press, also won first in Watercolor at the Art League Show.  sold
This is oil on gallery wrap canvas 14X14. This is Amy, my friend's daughter. I had fun adding the x's and o's as I know she misses her so much since she's moved to New York. sold
