Tis The Season

There is something nice about cold, wet, snowy weather.  I know I am probably one of the few people who feel this way, but I am a captive in my studio when the weather is bad and I love that.  

I have been busy this week finishing 2 paintings, both with a winter theme.  I am feeling very productive.  A few more Winter paintings and then maybe I will think Spring and and paint some flowers.  Either way, I am glad to be stuck inside with my watercolors.

"Lulu....Jump....Splash" An Original Watercolor by Donna Berk Barlup

"Lulu.... Jump.... Splash"

An Original Watercolor by 

Donna Berk Barlup

The idea for this painting came as we watched my granddaughter splashing in the puddles.  Watching her move up and down with the joy that only a 2-year-old has, was fascinating.  She doesn't need fancy toys, just a large wet surface. I hope we all have just a bit of that joy.

"Egg-actly"

In June I took a watercolor workshop with Linda Baker.  We learned how to pour watercolor. It was four incredible days and I learned a lot using this technique.

 This is one of the paintings I did during that class.

"Hong Kong Harbor" An Original Watercolor by Donna Berk Barlup

"Hong Kong Harbor"

An Original Watercolor by Donna Berk Barlup

I started this painting in my workshop in Baltimore with Stewart White.  He was teaching washes and told me I was doing this wrong.  I took it home to work on it in the studio.  I didn't do it his way but it is my painting. 

The colors drew me to this view.  We cruised through Hong Kong Harbor on a Chinese junk, floating in and around these huge fishing boats.

"Spring Onions and Radishes" An Original Watercolor by Donna Berk Barlup

"Spring Onions and Radishes" 

An Original Watercolor by Donna Berk Barlup

Spring is coming!  I promise!  I know it doesn't seem like it right now but it is!

This painting will hopefully remind you of those sunny days when you could walk around in your shirt sleeves, without a heavy coat and hat and peruse the goodies at the Camp Hill Farmers Market.  What could be better than eating some fresh, locally grown vegetables?

This painting is part of the my solo show at the Cornerstone Coffeehouse on Market Street in Camp Hill, PA.  The opening reception is Sunday, February 2nd from 2 til 4.  You will be home in plenty of time to watch the Super Bowl.
