Best buddies - watercolor aceo

My husband loves fish, and I guess it was time to try my hand at some. These turned out just like I had pictured them in my head

ink and watercolor on 300 lb paper - sold

The cotton field - daily painting

This painting wasn't all that I was hoping it would be. When I started I had a much different idea in my head, but this is what was determined to come out I suppose.

Art Cards, Editions and Originals

This year Christmas meant that I got to spend a relaxing week in California, but it also meant that I'd be without my oils for a while. Which seemed like such a waste since I was going to have so much free time, and usually I'm fighting for a few hours a week set aside for painting. Luckily I have a travel watercolor set, which I purchased in Florence :), so I tried making a few of these little ACEO drawings. And even though watercolors aren't my favorite these were super fun to make.

Favorite fruits

These are two of my favorite still life paintings, unfortunately both sold within an hour of me listing them, I kind of miss having them around.

I didn't realize that I hadn't updated my blog in so long. Here are a few of my latest paintings, all are still for sale on my etsy site (http://www.sharonschock.etsy.com/). The second one down is my favorite, when I finished I didn't want to stop looking at it, it was exactly how I wanted it to be. I might be a little sad when it sells. The first one was painted from a photo I took while Zach and I were relaxing in Jamaica. There was a thunderstorm every afternoon, which is one of my favorite things. It turned the sky such an amazing color, especially in contrast with the sun so bright on the sand.

I've been so distracted with my new etsy shop that I've completely forgotten to update my blog.
This whole etsy thing has gone a lot better than I expected. I've sold 9 paintings already and I haven't even been open for two weeks. There are a few new paintings that I'm excited to post, but I have to wait till they dry, fortunately I live in the driest climate ever and that happens pretty fast. For now here is one of my newer ones:

The walls in our new house are still completely bare. So I was brainstorming about ways I could fill them. The thing is it's hard for me to have my own work up on the walls day after day, it makes me want to change things, or somehow make it better. So whatever I put up there is going to have to be something I really love. Today I completed a very small version of something I might want, I would change a few things, but I think this has potential.

I love painting pears. They're always a different shape, they're usually a wonderful green color (at least the ones I pick are), and I think they have more personality than any other fruit. I think these two could have speech bubbles depicting their conversation.

Today's painting was much more successful, in my opinion. It was my first attempt at painting on a masonite panel. It had a very different feel than canvas, but I loved it. I chose another photograph that I took at the Santa Barbara courthouse, since I really liked how the other one turned out.
