I don't think I've ever posted art by another artist on my blog before, but I am very happy to introduce an artist near and dear to my heart, my daughter - Wendolyn Nelson.   She is an art major in her last year of college.  I always enjoy the freedom of her work!   So, I'm sharing it with you!    I hope you enjoy!

Snowy Egret once again

Well, this month is just flying by - and its always one of the busiest months of the year. 
As a high school teacher - there is the semester to bring to a close, final projects to grade, students to prod, graduation and year end activities, and year end stuff which must be done. 
I have not had enough time to work in my studio, so... 
I'm reposting some older posts!    

This one is an interesting use of color in a very broken style of application, which gives a textural feel and allows the eye to blend color!   
This one is ready to mat and frame.

Morning Market

Morning Market - Jerusalem Bazaar, 8x10" watercolor/ink on paper

SOLD

This painting is somewhat different than a my typical subject matter, but I was challenged by the Virtual Paintout blog to go w/Google street view to Jerusalem and paint something from that area.
I was attracted to the colorful textiles and items in the marketplace!  I also like the shapes and geometry of the street.   I hope you'll enjoy this view of the market place!
