Portraits By Marilyn – Commissioned Portrait and Pet Watercolor Art

Friends have offered many suggestions for this painting: “Adventure this way” “Peter Pan, Wendy and the Lost Boys” “Shelter from the Storm.”  The painting made itself know to me after I looked at the underpainting.  The painting appeared to me, and I completed it with negative painting.  There was no positive painting in this picture.

The second painting is of fairies and butterflies, the waterfall is positive painting, and the rest is negative painting.  This cowboy was a total surprise to me.  The under painting first revealed a cowboy hat, then I saw the collar.  Woolly chaps appeared.  The only positive painting was the cup of coffee and the fingers.  What a fun painting.

New addition to my resume: illustrator of Children’s books.

Author Kristen Huss as published a third book for young children.  It’s a book with simple prayers for very young children.  I will add a link as soon as it is available.  I illustrated the book with different animals familiar to young children.  Most of the animals are pets, and I think they are beautiful.
