Original watercolor tiny miniature painting. Tea party teatime.
This painting is 2" x 1.5" approximately, and an original watercolor painting. One of my favorite subjects and past times.
"It's a tradition - scones, jam, cream and tea."
Would look lovely in any dollhouse or miniature setting, such as a room box - such as a tea room or cafe, especially English inspired.
It's currently available on eBay:

Missing miniature watercolor painting of roses.
Many of my paintings are miniature, and, as such, they can go 'missing' easily. This one, a watercolor, "North Adelaide Roses" has been out of sight and out of mind for quite some years.
I'm now offering it for sale on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/291219887420?
It would fit nicely into any dollhouse or miniature room box setting.
1:12 scale, sold framed, size of art is approximately 1.75 x 1.5". There are lots of tiny details in this work.

Recently sold pen & wash SFA plein air painting.
In June (on Flag Day) I went to a Plein Air/Watercolor paint-out at Historic Hanley Farm, in Jacksonville. I was motivated to do this pen and wash of the front of the old house - it was all decked out for the occasion, and for the up-coming 4th of July.
I had just been accepted as an artist in the "Art Presence Art Center" in Jacksonville (museum grounds), and so planned to frame it and put it in their July "Red, White, and Blue" exhibition.
I ended up with about 16 paintings in the exhibition, and included 4 of my miniature watercolors, along with a large magnifying glass so that the details in these paintings could be enjoyed.
Being a "Co-Op" gallery, I was doing my turn to tend the gallery one Saturday, and a gentleman came in and purchased this artwork. It was a lovely surprise!
It's a SFA (Small Format Art), 7x5".

6x6" watercolor - horses & people on beach at dawn
I just finished this original SFA watercolor last night. SFA = Small Format Art - nothing over 14".
This is 6x6" square.
I've wanted to paint this for a long time, so I can't help but wonder where these people are now. No doubt the 'little' girl is at least a teenager. Dawn at one of Adelaide, South Australia's beaches (Semaphore). Where horses are allowed to exercise on the beach and in the surf up until 8am. At one stage this was along all the beaches, and a great many were exercised at Grange, where I lived, and was lucky enough to be let ride sometimes, as a child.
I've done several paintings from this location. Love this with the Mum, child, big and little horses (Shetland pony), and Jack Russell Terrier running alongside.
"Starting The Day With A Gallop" - currently listed on eBay for a week at a very low starting price (along with 7 other SFA watercolors. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=291060359629

Northern California boat watercolor painting - "The Rusty Banshee".
I love all things ocean, sea, marine, having grown up just a few hundred yards from a wonderful beach, with ocean docks, wharves just a few miles further up the coast. This is from Crescent City, on the northern Californian coast. A small format artwork (SFA) in watercolor - 5x7".
The rust is what caught my eye most of all. And it's rendered pretty much like it was. I think and hope this rusty old Banshee is getting ready to go out on the waters again some day.
I have this painting up for auction at a low starting price on Daily Paintworks website - HERE. Please check out my other auctions on this site.
