Portrait of a Zinnia

16x20 Watercolor

To purchase, please contact me

This portrait is of One of the many zinnia's that

are growing in my yard. I cannot believe that my

yard is still so alive and vibrant with color this late

in the season..... it is also very overgrown and

unmanicured right now too as I have not had

time recently to do more than the quik lawn

mowing once a week.

Hope you enjoy this blossom as it promises

to freeze hard soon!

This is one of last Thursday's watercolors. I am striving
to do a large expanse painting of the Ruby Mountains that
are in our area.....so I am practicing....and practicing and
of course more practicing in order to feel comfortable painting
a large one of this mountain range. I hope before the summer
is over I can tackle it large....yet another goal!
I have so many and life is so short!
To purchase, please contact me kathryn@anaturalframe.com

Plus,.... we are busy with our yard work
now that the weather is warmer...this was this
past weekend ....pouring the 2nd half of the concrete
pad ...to park our little RV trailer on.
Thank you Kevin for your help! we couldn't have
done it without you.

Thanks for visiting!

True Friend 5x7 Watercolor

My Cat.....Miss Kitty is my truist of friends. We have
the most wonderful conversations....she never minds
when I talk to much or to little, and she always listens
with patience......never interrupting but always contributing
to the conversation. I finished this painting yesterday....it
is the 3rd or 4th time I've painted her....and am sure
I will again.

Susy Blue 7.5x10 Watercolor

Every Thursday I get together with a few
friends....we paint,eat, laugh and throughly
enjoy our time together. My friend Susie has
a beautiful blue pitcher with a nice history
behind it. We set it up to paint a few weeks ago
and I liked it so much I painted it three times......
and liked all three paintings!

Lamoille Spring Melt 20x24 Oil

Lamoille Spring Melt is an older painting that
I have hanging in my home. For a long time one
of my goals was to learn how to paint water....
then rocks under water....I am still trying to master
both water & rocks.
