January 2010 ~ a Painting a Day

I want to kick off the New Year with a personal painting goal.

I have challenged myself to post a

new painting a day for the month of January 2010.

I really enjoyed your comments when I did this for April 2009.

There is a special gift for you if you follow along with me!

Be a follower of Watercolors and comment on each daily painting

(10 out of 30 minimum).

At the end of the month, I will send you a free watercolor print!

That's it.... so, I will see you on January 1st!

I love the Caribbean. As you can see in my work, the palm trees, ocean, and landscapes are present throughout my watercolors. I wish Palm trees could survive in Virginia. There is something so graceful about the way they blow in the wind!!

Framing Your Art

When buying my Watercolor paintings for your home, remember that matting and framing adds to the dimensions. You can purchase a very affordable 5" by 7" original watercolor, and the framed painting can be 11" by 14" or larger. You may view my original paintings section here. After you have your painting, picking the correct frame and matting is very important. You want to make your piece of Art stand out! Adding a thin color mat under a thick white mat frames the subject nicely.

this 6" by 6" original watercolor

becomes 12.5" by 12.5" with the mats

Belle of the Ball, 8" by 10" watercolor print

Becomes 15" by 17" framed

weekends 5" by 7"

matted becomes 11.75" by 13.5"

Give the gift of ART

What do you give the person on your list who has "everything"?

Give the gift of Art this holiday season.
