Day 20 of 30 paintings in 30 days "Destin blue"

Day 20 of 30 paintings in 30 days through January.  Today's painting "Destin Blue".  Another painting from my Destin vacation photos.  This blue heron was standing on top of a shed on the road to Dewey Destin Seafood, same place I took the seagull/tern "Dewey" that I painted a couple of days ago.  There were several of these large birds, I loved seeing them up close.  I used a very transparent watercolor technique for this painting, keeping it soft and using bright pleasing colors rather than the actual grays and blues of the bird (which I also love).

Day 19 of 30 paintings in 30 days "Rose colored Destin"

This is day 19 of thirty paintings in 30 days, a challenge I am doing in the month of January.  Today's painting "rose colored Destin".  This past winter a trip to Destin Florida found it gray and overcast most of the time.  We did not get to see the beautiful cool blue waters that are common there.  BUT, we were on vacation, and we were at the ocean, so we pretty much were looking at the world through rose colored glasses.  Not much is bad when you can hear the ocean.  So, as I looked through the vacation pics I thought I would show you the site from our balcony!

Day 16 of 30 in 30 "just bread "

This is day 16 of thirty paintings in 30 days, and I am glad to be on the down hill slide!  Today's painting, "just bread" is another one that really "just happened".   As I reached for the plate of leftover bread I had my next painting.  I love these blue plates with seashell shapes, this is not the first time a painting developed from food that just happened to be sitting on these dishes.  A few simple pieces of bakery french bread with holes and uneven edges.  I love simple little shots of real life, it is a treat to capture them!
