A Double Feature in Red Bubble!

Wow! I think I should really go back to my "Memories in Venice" series. Two of my Venetian door paintings  from that series have just been featured in the group Time Gates on Red Bubble. The first painting is Venetian Guardian that I added just yesterday to my International Artists Gallery:
The second feature is of  Venetian Doorway, one of my favorite paintings, that is now sold and in a good home:-)  For both of these paintings, I used my own photos as reference. 
After my week of playing, I now have three paintings started: a second attempt at that posterized portrait, a small floral and a challenging  Venice scene. For two of these, I am trying out the Canson artboard with Arches watercolor paper...I will post what does not end up in the bin:-)

    I love your style, the way you bring in the beautiful colors to emphasize certain things, but the piece still has the charm of old buildings. Very nice!

    I like the colors of your 2 Venetian paintings.
    And of course your other paintings of Venice. They remind me of my visit there 3 years ago. Your choice of colors is amazing. Congratulations for being featured again and again.

    Leslie,Katherine, Jane and Cora: thank you! I love Venice and this probably shows in my paintings:-) I have neglected this series lately, but am presently working on a sketch for a new one.

    I love your beautiful "watercolorly" style of painting with such awesome mixtures of paint which allow your paintings to glow.

    Barb, the pouring in these pictures really promotes glowing colors.

    Krista, thank you. I feel that my style has become tighter and tighter...I am not sure I can go back to my "Venice" style.

    Luisa, grazie mille!
