Patsy

Wow! Here we go.

Meet Patsy. She is a member of our family and she is posing for a painting that I did of her, My First watercolor of an animal! Where do I start??


I was doing a series of paintings using three colors: yellow, red and blue. I was able to mix the rich colors of Patsy's coat that aren't really done justice in this photo, including black. She has what they call 'red' legs. You will see in the painting. There was a call to the artists of San Clemente Art Association to donate paintings for a silent auction that was raising money for the local Animal Shelters in San Clemente and Dana Point. Of course that 'touched' my heart. So I donated the painting for the auction. My family was upset that I gave away the original, but fortunately I had a Giclee made. (You really can't tell the difference. : > )
Patsy likes to lay on the corner of our bed. When I go upstairs she always follows me and jumps up.
