I found all these buoys arranged and just waiting to be painted, while visiting Cape Cod. I think the addition of the seagull is the coolest! If interested in purchasing this painting please e-mail me at debra@debkreiger.com. 

"A Gull and Her Buoys" by Debra Tritt Kreiger

 11"x15" watercolor on 140lb arches paper

This painting has been on my easel for some time. It started with just the lobster buoys (from a photo I took in Cape Cod). I was drawn to all the shapes and colors. As I pondered over the drawing  I realized it needed a living character. I added the seagull. It was a challenge for me, and that is what I needed. I really tested my watercolor skills on this one. I stuck to the traditional watercolor painting technique and used no white paint. this project has taught me to have patience, and to know things will eventually work out. I also have a wonderfully talented son who I can call to help critique. I'm pretty happy with the results. Looking forward to spring and summer.

"Brown Pelican" by Debra Tritt Kreiger

 12x18 watercolor on 300lb arches paper

This fellow is one of my favorite paintings. My research came from South Carolina. I always photograph my subjects and he was very co-operative. The research is as much fun as the painting. He was a older bird that I gave a more youthful appearance! The brown pelican is a amazing bird. contact me to purchase at debra@debkreiger.com.

"A Rare Moment" by Debra Tritt-Kreiger

8.5"x11 watercolor on Arches Paper

As I have begun painting more paintings of all the different birds I have encountered and photographed, I found that this was indeed a rare find. I encountered this bird on a beach in New Jersey. In my research I believe it is a Bristle-Thighed Curlew which is in the sandpiper family and their numbers are decreasing due to climate change and the loss of habitat. Really happy to bring this bird into my painting world and help people realize we all share one planet and we need to take care of it.
