Yupo is a synthetic watercolor paper made of a plastic like substance. The watercolors sit on top of the yupo which allows them to run together and mix in surprising ways. Sometime the surprise is good and sometimes NOT. But, with this great paper, you can wipe back to white most of the time and try again. It is a little trickey to work with at first but worth it if you like watery watercolors. My small 14 x 18 painting of Fancy was fun and relaxing to do.

Oattie is a donkey but not just ANY donkey!!! Oattie stands and brays until he gets his well trained humans to give him tortilla's as a treat!!! He has a taste for Mexican food I guess!

The Texas longhorn is a great animal to behold. Although they look tough, they are often very gentle . The painting is "Under Texas Skies".

The painting is named DINK AND DONK! The detail I put into this pencil drawing took me two weeks and hour upon hour to get it all done. The thing is...I enjoyed every minute of it. I have already started a new pencil drawing of a donkey. Isn't being an artist GREAT????

My favorite flower is a Geranium. I think it all started when I WON FIRST PLACE years ago with a geranium painting. In fact, it was my first win of any kind!

I just returned from a wonderful vacation in Gunnison, Colorado. I painted the aspen trees in the cool light of early morning. Of course, I was on the lookout for the neighborhood bear that roamed the area!!!!
