A Few Watercolor Paintings

I decided to try out watercolor painting....sold one already (the Cherry Pie) to a fb friend from my hometown. Still working on skills and finding the right products and how to stretch paper properly!

Each one of these is done on a 6x9"piece of Arches 140 lb paper. These were all 2nd tries. I'm pretty happy with them so far.

French Honey Dip Donut

The last in this group of single donuts. I want to move on to other subjects. These were fun to do and it helped me with self-discipline and speed. Maybe now I can focus more on slowing down and doing more involved work.

Jelly Donut Bite and Cream Donut Bite paintings

I did these in the last 2 days. I've been trying to improve my self-discipline. Finishing these in a short time made me feel great. I was experimenting and practicing with style, color combos, and values. The cream one is from my reference photo, and the jelly is out of my imagination. Each acrylic painting is on a 6" x 8" canvas panel. Happiness is always donuts!!!

Donuts 2

I always wanted to do a "painting a day." Well I finally sped it up and did this one in 2 days! It is one square foot, acrylic on stretched canvas. I took me approximately 4 or 5 hours. Getting better at my painter's block. I'm counting calories now and this painting makes my mouth water. It is based on a  photo I took months ago of donuts inside the box. Coconut, a plain, a jelly, and my favorite--a chocolate covered white cream-filled.

It matches one I did a few months ago, as seen below.
