Duck Decoys

Duck Decoys
One day while out antiquing, I walked into a very dark, old barn filled with all sorts of interesting items. These duck decoys sat on a ledge by a window. The sun was bright and warm and beyond the barn was a barnyard with chickens. The contrast of the dark inside and the bright outside caught my eye and I snapped several photos for future paintings.

The Old Timer

The Old Timer
Another place I am drawn to is junkyards. I love to see old rusty machinery. The structure and textures fascinate me. I am sure this old car was a prized possession in its day. Now it a sat in the scrapyard with other broken, rusty relics.

"Waterilies at the NOMA" by Donna Berk Barlup

I am so please and honored to have this watercolor painting accepted  into the Keystone National Exhibition of Works on Paper at the Mechanicsburg Art Center.
Larry Lerew and I went to Brath & Hughes Fine Art Gallery to pick up our paintings from the DPP show and decided to stay and paint on the street across from the Gallery.  This was my results.  It is a 7" x 10" watercolor of the front of the Gallery. It still needs so work especially on the right side.  Or maybe I will just crop it down.
