Saba the Horse - watercolor painting

This painting I did of Saba for my Dh for Father's Day. We ended up giving it to him on Friday so that he could enjoy it over the weekend.

I like this one better than the last one I did of him. I was in a better mood about the whole thing this time and that apparently makes a big difference in my artwork.

This time I worked backwards. I wanted to paint Saba first, so I did. Then I really liked the way he looked and added minimal background to ground him.

Now Dh has 3 paintings of Saba to enjoy - he is quite happy about that!

I really do need to remember to take a photograph or scan before I put the piece in a frame...

Have a fun and energetic day, just like Mr. Saba ;)

Father's Day Card with ATC inserted

Today I worked on Father's Day things. I am posting the card I made and the ATC, however I will not post the painting I finished for my Dh until Sunday - No previews of it for Dh. Due to the workweek here, he will receive his painting on Saturday.

The first picture is the card front without the ATC inserted. You can see the cuts where the ATC will be inserted.

This second picture has the ATC inserted.

And, this last picture is the ATC.

Other than the card with the ATC inserted looking like an octopus, I think it came out rather well, especially since, I don't draw it out first, I just doodle...

Have a great day!
