Frosted Windows by Sharon K. Shubert
This is the result of plastic wrap technique on very wet watercolor on Strathmore 140 lb. cold press paper. The plastic wrap is placed over the wet watercolor, then wrinkled, smushed, then left to dry for HOURS. When the paint is dry, peel off the plastic wrap and you have some amazing details as you can see in these close-up shots. I drew the birds then cut them from heavy black art papers and collaged them over the dry watercolor. The branches are where I used india ink to color in the designs left by the plastic wrap technique. The “windows”were painted separately with the plastic wrap technique, then cut and adhered to the piece as well. Close-ups of the “frosted windows” are shown below. This art work was FEATURED on Red Bubble’s home page features when I had it on another portfolio which has now been deleted. The group, “Water Media” has also FEATURED this piece. :) Here is this art work as it will look matted and framed: /

Abstract...The Approach by Janis Zroback
As I was painting this abstract, I pondered the many meanings to the word “approach”...for example there is…. / The simple act of drawing near…. / A way, passage, or avenue by which a place or buildings can be approached; an access. / The temporal property of becoming nearer in time..e.g. “the approach of winter” / The final path followed by an aircraft as it is landing… / My painting is mainly concerned with the last two…I wanted to evoke both meanings of the word…it is the final curtain of autumn and winter is fast approaching..pockets of red and orange gleam here and there, as autumn stubbornly defies the chill, but at night the icy fingers of winter touches everything with frost..in the countryside snow drifts casually down, as if refusing to admit it’s here for good…another look at the painting evokes the final approach to land…stars twinkle in the night sky, the land shows the last vestiges of fall and the approach of winter….we are excited, relieved to have made it home safely once more... Watercolour on Aquaboard The half-stripped trees / struck by a wind together, / bending all, / the leaves flutter drily / and refuse to let go / or driven like hail / stream bitterly out to one side / and fall / where the salvias, hard carmine— / like no leaf that ever was— / edge the bare garden. William Carlos Williams / A Conjunction of Elements / After The Harvest / There’s A Light in the Darkness / Midnight on Egdon Heath / Reflected Glory / Tightwire / Realities

Perpetua by Joyce Ann Burton-Sousa
When we lived in Portugal I saw so many women knitting and crocheting hats, scarves, mittens, and sweaters for their family. This painting was originally published in Calyx, A Journal of Art and Literature by Women, Vol. 24, no.1, Summer, 2007. The medium is watercolor, I use Arches cold pressed 100% cotton paper, and the dimensions of the original painting are 10 inches x 14 inches.

I want to be a Ballerina.... by Stephie Butler
Pure Watercolour / Dahler Rowney 140lb Paper / 12×9in / W/N Paints This started out a very quick sketch and using up pigment left in my pallet. I haven’t been feeling too well and just wanted to relax and doodle a bit.. I’m trying to work with bringing different colours into my portraits rather than just using different tones. It’s amazing what you can achieve if you rid yourself of that “I must achieve a finished Painting” every time you pick up a brush. Sometimes it’s good to just paint for fun, and you seem to learn a lot more along the way…. I know it’s no masterpiece but it turned out a whole lot better than I ever expected it too…. My special thanks to Randysart from Wet Canvas for the use of her beautiful photo..
