Singer Sewing Fun

 
SINGER SEWING FUN
 

 
"Singer Sewing Fun"
22 x 27
Watercolor
 
This is a painting of my Mom's Singer Sewing Machine called
a Featherweight. She made a lot of my clothes growing up on
 this machine. I remember a prom dress she made for me.  It was a
pretty blue material with a sheer material over it.  She and my grandmother
taught me how to sew and follow a pattern.  I made a couple of
prom dresses for my daughter.
 
This painting was in a show in Breckenridge, Texas at the
Breckenridge Art Center.  I posted a picture of it on Facebook for
advertising purposes.  A former neighbor and friend saw it and
bought it.  Her mother also had this type of sewing machine.  The painting
reminded her of her mother sewing for her.  DeAnne also sews and
does quilting.  I am so glad "Singer Sewing Fun" has a wonderful new home and
is being enjoyed by DeAnne and her family.

Green and Gold Watercolor

 
 
GREEN & GOLD
 
 


"Green & Gold"
6x9
Watercolor
 
This painting was a result of a class project and similar to the previous post,
Leave of Gold.  Lots of yellows and gold colors splashed wet into wet on the entire
piece of paper in the beginning.  When dry, the yellow layer of leaves and stems were drawn.
Then a dark green wash covered the area behind the leaf shapes.  When dry another layer of
leaves were drawn and painted behind with an even darker green.  The light spots
were rubbed out when painting was totally dry.  Also the foreground was dampened  with a brush loaded with water. Using a paper towel I rubbed the paint off leaving a lighter green
 at the bottom of the painting.
 
 
Thank you for viewing this post.

Japanese Tulip Tree






JAPANESE TULIP TREE
Watercolor
7x9
$100
Margie Whittington

There is a beautiful Japanese Tulip Tree outside the window at the Fort Worth
Woman's Club where I teach watercolor classes.  Every spring we are
amazed at the beautiful blooms on this tree before any leaves appear
on the tree.  The color of these blossoms are rose, pink and white.
God's color pallette in the spring is breathtaking!!!!
