Spring on the Sandy

Here is a painting from several years back of one of the many beautiful Sandy River views as it meanders along thru Farmington.  I love the soft colors of the spring sky reflecting in the opening water of the Sandy River, the trees warmed by the sun and the deep blue of the distant mountains. This is a watercolor on paper which I traded with a fellow artist for a wood sculpture. This would make a great oil painting. If you are interested in a similar one, (I don't do prints) please email me. melanie.farmer@gmail.com

Diane

My good friend Diane was my favorite model in years gone by when I was doing portrait studies She would come over to my studio sometimes and sit for me while we visited. She is an attractive woman with great bone structure. Diane always encouraged my painting portraits from life and never complained if it didn't look exactly like her. This is a 11 x 14 watercolor on paper. I also paint portraits in oil.  Not for sale.
