Think Pink - Acrylic on Paper by Marcy Brennan

Think Pink - Acrylic on 11"x14" Paper - $80

This is a studio painting from a photo I took a few weeks ago while at White City Park plain air painting.  I love my time painting outside on site, but I don't love working in acrylics in the field.  It's simply too much stuff to lug around and the acrylics dry way too fast outside.  I usually work in oils (on very small canvases) or watercolors in the field and work in acrylics in the studio.

This was a fun challenge in mixing the various shades of green in the lovely lily pads.

You can purchase the original of this painting in my Etsy shop here.

One Lily - Watercolor

Today, my husband and I toured through McKee Botanical Gardens in Vero Beach, FL.  The water lilies were on display in all their glory in every pond at the gardens.  We also caught the Dinosaurs exhibited throughout the gardens.  They're incredibly life-like and are on display through May 1st.  It's a great place to take the kids!

Here's a short video of the main pond with it's beautiful stone bridge and huge amount of water lilies and lily pads:

While the original is not for sale because I painted it in my little watercolor sketchbook, prints, apparel and lots of other items may be purchased with this image on them at my Red Bubble and Fine  Art America sites. 

Here are some of the fun items with this image on them:

Here are some of the photos I took at the gardens to:

See the dinosaurs on the log?
