Bluebonnet Photos Linda Rupard

I just lost a lot of photos I had taken of so many beautiful bluebonnet photos because right in the middle of saving my imported photos it was decided I had to have a password which I have never had to have when I am I saving photos before. This may be all I can post unless my Kids can figure this out. Hope to have more to share soon. I will keep them on the camera next time until I know they are saved. It was so wonderful standing in the fields of blue with some pinks, whites , yellow & red to orange color flowers mixed in with the vivid blue purple. The fragrance of these wild flowers is so sweet wish I could share that too.

Sunset Over The Colorado Linda Rupard

This is pouring, tilting & splattering paint on Yupo paper. Then looking for something in the wash I saw cars & buildings going up the hill. This reminded me of a place we saw on one of our trips Near Parker AZ , a little town on the Colorado River that stands on the hills above the river.

Patches Linda Rupard

I painted this for one of my Grand Daughters who wanted a funny cat to hang in her room. This will be hung like it is without a frame. Edges are painted to match the front. This is an acrylic on canvas.

Welcome Spring Linda Rupard

This is a watercolor on paper. This is a welcoming Spring flower. Love these bright colors that seem to sing, it is Spring. This has been a much nicer Spring for us here in West Texas, bit more rain , makes for more green & flower color. The Birds are singing , something that I didn't hear as much last year as this one. Now if we can just keep getting a bit of rain to fill our lakes here & keep the plants green & the fires away. We can stay happy all Summer & maybe cooler too.

Mama & Baby Donkey

I struggled drawing this one & I had to use the eraser so much that a solution to fixing the shorter neck & other needs I used tracing paper & moved it around to get the correct drawing. Thanks to my friend Sue who is one of the 6 Caboose artist who does this. Then I put drawing on light-box & traced onto watercolor paper. In Doug Walton's class I would have used crayon or some wax resist for this step. Then with my drawing on my watercolor paper I began my painting. This time I did the Donkeys first then added the background in washes. This is painted from more photos from our Oatman AZ day trip from the campground we were staying at in Lake Havasu City AZ. This is the same little Donkey from the all tuckered earlier post who had set up to see what was going on around him when we came back down the street. Guess nap time was over.

Party Animals Linda Rupard

I have been working on my Donkeys again & they were looking so colorless I finely remembered why. I had done this one several years ago. My dull one is almost finished & I will post it today. This is watercolor on paper.

Imagine Linda Rupard

I see things in this first time wash & splattered paint but not sure if I want to bring it out or leave it to the imagination of the viewer. I used liquid acrylic paint on Yupo paper.
