11x17 Watercolor batik on rice paper

Used a little heavier rice paper on this painting which took a little adjusting, but all in all

a likable finished product.

More Zinnias

I have to call this painting more of an experiment.  May try it again in a larger format
Hard to get the detail with the wax working this small and a little messy looking for my taste.

I'm Thinking Salsa II

You may recognize this from a previous painting, I decided to try it again making more red tomatoes

I'm Thinking Crab Cakes

This is my trade painting for my Monday Night Painting group for 2012 (we're a little late but we will have a fun celebration this Monday night).  It is a watercolor batik on rice paper 8x10 from a photo I took when we went on our annual beach trip in October.  I think I like it enough to do again, but no two are exactly alike.  If anyone has any interest in this painting or any others please feel free to contact me at CarolMann0@gmail.com or Mann9325@bellsouth.net.  Thanks for looking! Happy New Year!

Let Sleeping Cats Lie

8x10 Watercolor Batik on Rice Paper. This is from a picture  I took of a big fat sleeping cat on top of a barrel at the Carl Sandburg home in Hendersonville, NC. He just looked so warm and content. Still enjoying the Batik process. I edited this with a new photo of the painting, I've discovered that taking a photo under certain light bulbs turns everything yellow, here the colors are true to the painting.
