I like the way you make me feel!

I have to say it, I just love a white bird with an orange beak against a soft turquoise back ground. Yes, I can paint different colored birds. And yes, I can paint other back ground colors and scenes. And yes, I can paint a gray life like beak. But I LIKE a white bird with an orange beak with
a soft turquoise back ground! They make me feel good.

In a pickle

Well, you might say I have been in a pickle concerning my painting blog. I don't know why I was not the administrator for a period (which is why I haven't been blogging), or really why I am now, but anyway, I am glad to be back! Speaking of pickles... I have painted some garden pieces lately! I took some nice photos at a nearby garden, and today I want to share the cucumber painting with you. I guess I like simple things, because this lone cucumber was just fantastic to me. When I saw it hanging on the vine I knew it would be a painting.

About Me

I am Betty Moore, a self taught watercolor artist living in Southern Illinois. I enjoy painting birds...seagulls, egrets, pelicans and other water and wading birds. The lake in my back yard is my endless muse. I enjoy painting fresh vegetables and fruits and other kitchen art as well. I grew up in a time when the kitchen was truly the heart of the home, making this subject dear to me. While I am a fairly new watercolor artist I paint prolifically, if the sun comes up I am probably painting. I use quality artist grade watercolor paper and paints. Prints of my work are Giclee quality. My work is in private collections, with a great sense of pride connected to each piece.
