"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!

"Apple Study" By Debra Tritt Kreiger

"Apple Study" 10"x8" Oil on linen canvas

I had a wonderful private oil painting lesson with Claire Carnell this week. I haven't painted in oils in years and I just wanted to give it a go. I really enjoyed painting this apple. Claire lovingly clipped apples and pears off the trees stems, leaves and all! This fellow made the grade. We had a good time painting together. I'm very pleased with the results!

"Black Sand Beauty" By Debra Tritt Kreiger


"Black Sand Beauty"
Watercolor 10"x14" on 140lb arches paper

I painted this green sea turtle from a photo I took from a black sand beach on the Big Island of Hawaii. What a wonderful site to see. She was posing so nicely for me in the afternoon sun. The black sand beach was an amazing site to see. I'm planning on going back to do more research!
