Simple Color Sample
I wanted to do something very simple so I redid a drawing and came up with this colorful little image. At times, I can get a nice effect by not doing the entire image as I did here on the vase. Colorful and simple, this painting shows how you can do ...
Flower Fields
Poppies, blue flowers and fresh grasses make up this shaky little image. This was done on location in northern California while sneezing, sniffling and rubbing my itchy eyes during a warm day in May. I was a little uncomfortable while doing this so i...
June Bouquet
Simple watercolor of flowers done quickly. Looked at a variety of flowers and included them in this image. Artwork was done in one half hour. Came back later and added a few more leaves and sprouts. It's done! Like my instructor says--"Terry--sign it...
Get Out Of Your Rut
Sometimes, we artists get into a rut. Don't know what to draw or paint so we do nothing. We just need to adapt! A trick I have learned from Cathy (Kate) Johnson www.flickr.com/photos/cathy-johnson/ from one of her fine watercolor instruction books, ...
May Bouquet
Color bouquet of flowers done simply as a demonstration in class. Too many times students feel they must draw and paint every single leaf or petal. This demonstration showed them how to do a painting quickly and not worry about every detail. It's gr...
Flowers From Weeds
In an open field on my mother's vacant lot, I saw these beautiful little clumps of yellow flowers growing out of fresh green clumps of weeds. I believe it was yellow clover clumps. This is the first time I ever thought clover was actually good to se...
Colorful Growth
This image shows warm season flowers sprouting out of large pots or urns in a garden. I decided to post this because many of us are ready for the greening up of spring and the warmth of summer days. The blue and white urn was painted much more brilli...
Church Flowers
I named this post Church Flowers not because we had lots of flowers at church last Sunday, but because I sketched these flowers during the sermon. Yes, I was listening to the sermon also! I merely started to draw flower after flower then I realized I...
From Pale To Brilliant
I sketched and painted one of the bouquets of flowers my wife received on her birthday from our children. Sometimes my watercolors tend to be too pale. I did not want pale but I wanted more brilliance. The ink pen I used bled a lot when I applied a h...
Enjoy Some California Poppies
My resolve is to show something that reminds us of warm weather now that cold weather is firmly upon us. This ink and watercolor of some California poppies as shown here grow when the weather is warm and nice. These are pretty little flowers that gr...
Roses In The Breeze
One of three rose bushes on the side of our home was the object of this painting. It was a sunny day and the wind was blowing which prompted the name of this post. These three lively rose trees provide healthy flowers from spring until late fall an...
Plump Zinnias
Here is a floral image of some beautiful, plump, round Zinnias. Producing a colorful flower, this plant blooms from mid-summer until the frost comes. Butterflies love these flowers. The plant is very hardy and can grow in hot sun and needs water only...

A beautiful, colorful plant adorns our home and it's called a Bright Bromeliad. There are many varieties of this plant but the one we have is colorful and healthy and makes an attractive piece for any home. This painting will be framed and will be en...
Majestic Monarch
This is the first piece of a series I am doing with butterflies. I am starting now as there are fall art shows planned that I will enter. The fall shows are great for selling for the holiday season. This art will fit into an 8" x 10" mat and framed....

This colorful painting of pots and various types of flowers is shown on a typical hot summer day in the middle of California. In full bloom, the flowers produce their own beautiful color to go with the nice colors of the pots or urns. August temperat...
