PNW Glow
This was a larger canvas painting I made for a family member as a gift (yet to be gived as of today). His favorite season is winter, and he loves the mountains. Bigfoot peeks out from the forest to see the comet over the dormant volcano. This uses acrylic and much of the white paint glows in the dark, including the eyes of Bigfoot!

Cthulhu
This is the second underwater monster I painted for my daughter's bathroom. I really love these colors together, and it turned out pretty creepy looking. Watercolor and other mixed media on paper.

The Seahorse
My last post was about paintings in my daughter's bathroom, this one is about a new painting for mine. Certainly not as scary, but just as fun to paint.
Watercolor on paper.

The Anglerfish
In my early days with experimenting in watercolor painting, I did a beautiful bearded iris in metallic watercolor paints (student grade) from pans. I used a canvas material, and didn't realize that wasn't the norm for using watercolors. Still, I was proud of how it turned out (I did use a stencil). That painting has been in my 16 year old's bathroom now for several years, and I thought it was time to update her paintings. When I asked her what type of animal or fish she might like, she chose the Anglerfish. I had no idea what one was until I searched for it online. If you know my daughter, you would see why she suggested this scary looking fish.
I think this one turned out quite well actually, so it now hangs proudly in her bathroom. I used paper instead of canvas this time however..
