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.

"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.
