Paintings of nature
Painting can be fun!
feel the joy and freedom
of these nature paintings
It was getting old trying to do paintings of nature like a photo.
So, I changed it up a bit for the sake of freedom!
My dolphins were always painted with the dolphin's natural grey color. This time I painted with the fun colors of pink and purple with turquoise.
This turned out to be a Prophetic Painting.
Flying Freefun paintings of nature
No more trying to paint like a photograph.
I let my artistic imagination fly free.
The result was "Flying Free".
The seagull is realistic, but the background is breaking loose into freedom.
Egret and LiliesAfter I did the dolphin's painting in pink and purple, I thought it was so much fun, I used the color combination again.
In Florida it is quite common to see the egrets out walking among the lily-pads looking for something to eat.
This time because the egret had a yellow-orange beak, I made some of the lily-pads yellow-orange.
What fun it was doing these paintings of nature in a free style! "Egret and Lilies"
Manatees are interesting creatures seen in Florida.
Some people call them Sea Elephants.
They are slow moving and very quiet and gentle.
They eat huge amounts of vegetation to support their massive bodies.
These "Two Gentle Giants" which normally are grey are painted with fun, free colors.
Leafy Sea Dragon 'n' Purple TangsLeafies can actually change colors to camouflage themselves, but it was fun doing this sea dragon with a purple background.
The background compliments the leafy and makes him stand out. "Leafy Sea Dragon 'n' Purple Tangs"
Purple TangsIt's fun to tuck unexpected things into a painting. The viewer has more to see and gives a freedom to the painting.
There is a group of five tangs swimming in front of the leafy.
Purple Tangs really are purple with yellow tails.
Nature is so amazing!

Hibiscus Freedom"Hibiscus Freedom" was another free style painting of nature.
It is a mixed media painting of acrylic and watercolor.

Baby OrangutanThere is freedom in simplicity.
Babies are always cute, no matter what kind of baby they are.
Here is a simple, free style nature painting of a "Baby Orangutan".
Freedoms Light"Freedom's Light" is another painting from the freedom series. The sailboats are heading out of the storm towards the light.
The painting method breaks free from traditional watercolor paintings.
Free LoveSometimes an artist will get stuck on one thing for a while.
"Free Love" came after the dolphin and egret paintings with pink, purple and turquoise.
The colors are softer in this painting to portray the soft nature of the mourning doves loving on each other.
A simple painting to portray a complex subject. Love is ours to give.
Two SpotsIt's fun to play with color.
Clown Triggerfish naturally have spots, but these "Two Spots" have artist's colors.
Paintings of nature can be lots of fun!
Going PlacesThis is a fun watercolor painting of a roadrunner "Going Places". I was getting ready to move from Florida to Missouri.
You may wonder why I was moving from sunny Florida to snow country. Well my sister was living up there.
They had a roadrunner hanging around her yard. It even sat on her husband's arm one time!
