Post Your New Art For January....no Photos

My first watercolor of 2016.
Happy creating all, and thanks for the thread Natalie.

This is a combination of photography and digital work Natalie, so hope it does not break the rules but if it does I will remove it.

My first work of 2016

Some colourful Glerbs drifting through the black velvet of night

A new look...a new year

Winter - a time when being indoors is nice. Sitting in front of a WACOM monitor and creating abstract and surreal art is very nice. My mind wanders and what drives these creations, God only knows.

Below is my second creation for January, 2016. It's a mixed media abstract titled "The Fantasy Abstract" with one of my favorite quotes. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities. ~ Dr. Seuss

Today I have been making surreal and abstract art. Fun!

My first painting of 2016! Original watercolor of a winter sunrise landscape in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Based on a location near Breckenridge and Hoosier Pass.

Purple... because really, there is no other color.

My 2nd drawing of Night Cat 2016

The government is "flush" with cash?

White tulips that are stippled and brushed with the mauve along the edges of the petals. That represents perfect love and eternal happiness!

A late autumn neo-impressionist view of Boulder's natural wonders...

Cravasse 2. My luscious oil painting, celebrating the apex of the mountains, in full winter snow, and the deep, dark Cravasse.

early morning, two cups of coffee, cold (19F), and bright skies combined with imagination resulted in this...

Still developing this series, the Black and White Series...No 5 and 6....

For Valentines....

Finished this morning...

Two of my newest watercolor paintings, painted on 150 lb cold press paper.


This colorful summer landscape is filled with bright blue, yellow, green, and purple tones. Pink and yellow wildflowers dot the foreground of a rolling meadow near treeline, in the high country of the Rocky Mountains. Pine forest stretches into the distance, and the hint of a mountain ridge descends to the ground in the background. There is so much beautiful wilderness to explore in the Rockies; this particular scene was inspired by an area near the Blue Lakes, beneath the summit of the 14er mountain Mount Sneffels, near the community or Ouray. This stretch of mountains is known as the San Juans range, and it receives higher levels of rain and snow and thus has brilliant displays of flowers during the short summer growing season.



Masked Flowerpiercers are gorgeous, vivid blue birds live in the humid montane forests of Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia - tropical regions bordering the Amazon. I was so happy to observe this species while visiting Quito, Ecuador, a few years ago, and wanted to paint an impression of a pair of them perched on narrow branches, surrounded by bright magenta, purple, and red flowers.

I used studs that I pulled off of my shirt for this.

This painting is an acrylic. I've been having a lot of fun painting water lately.

A Siberian Husky in pencil.

An acrylic painting of 18" x 24". The Scaly Breasted Munia are also known as Spice Finch. They slightly differ in color, some have nutmeg color while some lighter brown, hence they are also known as Nutmeg Finch


This bird is also known as the Nutmeg Mannikin and Lonchura Punctulata. A purple background with some flowers and leaves.



A monochrome image of the the Scaly Breasted Munia.



The mango trees are full of raw mangoes. The little Mannikin may love to feast on the ripe ones, hoping to get the ripe mangoes from March, a long wait though:)

Two Black Drongos sitting on a tree. A knife painting. The Black Drongos are also known as King Crow

Abstract flowers from my garden in vibrant colors.

Tears Of Sadness is a mixed media painting.



There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. ~ Washington Irving

Here are a few of mine for January. I have several more, if you want to check my profile page. :) Warning: two have mild nudity...

Hola everyone!
This one for Jan, an acrylic floral abstract on canvas

A mixed media portrait of Josephine in bold colors.

Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical. ~ Sophia Loren

#5 of 52 in my weekly Fractal Art Project

This brown and white hen portrait is done in soft pastel on a beige paper. I'm trying for one traditional media piece per week this year and this is my #4 for 2016.

Sunday night is apparently "wacky corners of my mind" night.

Yeah, yeah... I heard dat. Shaddup :P

Did some digital for a change!

From January!
