Jeanne Anderson Watercolors

Did this painting in December. Sorry for the poor photo. I need to update this blog more often. I hope to get some photos of my students' painting. They have been doing watercolors primarily and soon we switch to acrylic.

I don't know what to say about this painting. The canvas started out normal and as I was experimenting with some gloss gel medium, it became textured. I have washed over it with gesso at probably twice. This is an attempt of a cactus (barrell) for my cousin Linda. Since I am not talented enough to do the cactus justice realistically, I decided to do it abstract-ish. I'm positive that is not a word, but it describes this painting well.

I can't tell who it is for. Although they do not have internet access anyway. I wouldn't want you to be tempted to tell them. Merry Christmas!

Just about done with this watercolor for my friend Anne.

This is the piece that was accepted for the latest show. It's two pieces, acrylic on wrapped canvas and I named it Ode to Tiger . I named it that for fun, sometimes the name alone will get you into a show. This may be the case.

I took a dry pastel class at Shemer Art Center and Museum in Scottsdale this Spring. These are the two "paintings" I did. It's more like coloring than painting, but those who are good at it make it look like painting.

Trying to paint a strawberry hedgehog cactus..... First attempt.
