"American Goldfinch" By Debra Tritt Kreiger

"American Goldfinch" 7.5"x10" watercolor on Arches 140lb paper

I've been working on this painting for a little while. The challenge I had was placing this beautiful goldfinch in a pleasing and exciting background. I take my own photo reference pictures so I'm learning to look for interesting places to incorporate the wonderful creatures I encounter. I worked on giving the background some nice texture and color to provide harmony and interest to the painting. The sunflowers are great since I wanted to show him with a seed! Turned out to be a bright and cheery painting! Hope you like it!

"No Tag" watercolor painting from the "Art on the Farm" event held by CALC and PASA Saturday June 11th, 2011.

What a nice event! What better way to support local whole foods and local artist! These are two of my passions! These sheep were a joy to watch and paint. This fellow I was told was named" No Tag". A young gentleman who takes care of the sheep was the highest bidder for this painting. He wanted it to remember his two years working on the Dickinson College Farm. I was very honored. What a wonderful group of students and staff and a great project to support! Can't wait till next year!

I painted at the PA Garden Show of York with the Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters. It was a wonderful and humbling experience.
