Rooster in Watercolor

Wolf in Watercolor

Wolves are not always a friend to farmers.  But in there right place they are quite beautiful.

Clea

Clea one of my farm dogs in the US died yesterday.  Even from a puppy she was an old dog, never playing like a puppy.  She was also one of the smartest dog I ever had.  Being house broke from day one, even house breaking her own puppies.  I watched her put a 2000lbs bull to its knees when he would try to get out.  She also loved to hunt mice and squirrels in the woods.  And if it came down to it she would protect her family fiercely.

At her favorite store, Tractor Supply.

Beauty time.

Helping cut wood.

Her best friends were a cat named Eragon and my sisters dog Jasper.  Who are also both gone now too.

Watercolor Landscape

I've not painted many watercolor landscape before.  Watercolor is still new to me.  In the past I've used acrylics and oils to paint landscapes.  So I looked up a tutorial on YouTube and found one.  Click here to see it.  I find tutorials a great way to learn new techniques and they sometimes allow me to try something new.  This painting is not my favorite but I learned techniques that I can apply to the next painting. 

Toned Sketchbook

I've never really used a toned sketchbook before.  So I bought a cheap small sketchbook on amazon, to try out.  These are the first two sketches I've done.

He has Risen

  I'm a Christian and faith is very important to me.  I believe that Jesus Christ died of our sins and rose three days later.  So this is a watercolor I did of the empty tomb.

I also did a watercolor sketch in my sketchbook for Easter.

Hiking

Even farmers have to get away from the farm once in awhile.  So yesterday my boyfriend and I when for a hike.  We ended up hiking about 11.5 km, so not to far.  The path we took went from a monastery to a small town.  The farm dog even got to come which is a lot for fun for her. 
These two pictures I took with a fisheye lens I have for my phone.

I also have a micro lens for my phone which allowed me to take the next three pictures.


The landscape was beautiful the whole way.

There was a walkway along the outside of the town that followed a little stream and had little ponds every so often.

We even seen a piece of art made of horseshoes.

These were taken in the town we walked to.


I hope you enjoyed the pictures.
