I just finished this painting after working on it all month. It took around 30 hours which is crazy and makes me want to learn how to paint loose. I hope it was worth it. I chose one of about 100 photos I took of the reservoir in October.

Last night I created How the Leopard Got its Spots, my 2nd artwork video. It shows the painting process of Leopard (posted in 2008), Tiger, Zebra II (not yet posted) and the two German Shepherd portraits I did in the fall. Music by Ed Smith. Hope you like it.

Watercolor Bird Video

Today I created and uploaded my first YouTube video! It contains about 25 of my watercolor bird paintings. The music is by Ed Smith, a close friend of mine who has passed on but left us very beautiful music. View and listen at Sharon Farber's Watercolor Birds.

I used another reference photo from Jerry Acton. Thanks Jerry! This is a gift for a very special friend. Paula is the woman who bought my massage therapy practice from me, enabling me to focus much more time and energy on painting! I give thanks for Paula every day. She told me that she loves black capped chickadees and this small gift will be a surprise for her!

I finished this female wood duck today. Photo reference by Alan Wilson at Naturespicsonline. I now have a mat cutter and learned how to use it this month. I can paint any size I want instead of limiting myself to standard sizes like 8 x 10 and 11 x 14. I celebrated with this duck!

I am back to the birds! I found the reference photo for this bird on Mike McDowell's Birding and Digiscoping Blog. I haven't seen all of Mike's birds yet but he has many wonderful photos. He also has amazing video footage and provides a wealth of information. Visit him at Mike's Blog. Thank you Mike!!
