Hidden Toad

This photo was taken by my daughter, Alyssa. She worked hard to get a nice picture of this toad. He was hidden neatly away between two trailers in our yard. He just blends right in.

Isn't he quite the handsome toad (if handsome they can be...)? LOL!

Out of The Blue - WIP & Completion

Here is a preview of my next watercolor work. I just had to do a series of paintings on desert plants. So here is the progress, thus far, on my cactus painting.

Cacti always inspire me to hang on even in difficult circumstances. So here's to hanging on until I can manage to add a few more layers of color to this painting. :)

Hang in there, friends!

Asian Stone Pagoda Lantern II - Finished!

Just had to share the finished painting I have done for a friend of mine. It is of an Asian stone pagoda lantern.

Hope your day is an awesome one!

Lizard Lines

Happy Monday to all! Hope you had a great weekend! I had fun working on a drawing. Still have to add more background color and tree leaf coloration, but it will be finished soon.

It is a picture of a Green Anole on a colorful tree. It is happily sitting in the sun.

I used colored pencil and pen to create this piece. I had a lot of fun trying out the highly textured lined look for the tree bark. Totally have to do some more like this. :)

Promise of a Maple

This seed carries the promise of a majestic maple one day. It may be small now - only less than an inch long, but it plans on bursting out of its small case and changing the world.

This painting has been submitted to Illustration Friday's weekly challenge with the topic of WOOD.

It is a watercolor & gouache with pen on 140 lb. watercolor paper. Size: 5.5" x 8.5" If you would like to purchase the original, send me a comment or message with that request. See www.jenniferniemiroski.crevado.com for more details (in the watercolor gallery).

Broken Pieces Fall Into Place

These bits of broken shell are a testament to the fact that beauty can come from the broken parts of life.

I Spy a Butterfly

Mr. Sly spotted a butterfly! Oh my, what is he thinking of?

Be nice, Mr. Sly!

And here is a friend of his, Miss Vixie. She is his polar opposite - sweet, optimistic, innocent, and quiet. 

Banyan Tree By The Sea

This is the final rendition of Banyan Tree By The Sea. Completed!!

Here it is in the customer's house:

I am doing a happy dance!

Mama Hen & Her Chicks

This is my latest work. I just finished it today. It is a greeting card done in gouache (a variation on watercolor paint) & pen.

Mamas and their babies are so precious!

Now I have to decide who to give this to. :)

Have a happy day today!
