Gray Squirrel- Watercolor- by John Monroe

I once heard of a man who lived alone in the back country. Many of the local animals became used to his presence over time, but there was this gray squirrel that became exceptionally friendly,coming into his cabin, and even spending the night there. However, the man became suspicious when certain items began to go missing. The mystery was solved,however, when he discovered a cache of his brightly colored fishing lures. Apparently the gray squirrel became enamored of these little gems.

Many of the American White Pelicans winter around here in central California. I especially find them an amazing sight while they are flying in formation.

This is a new print of mine from watercolor.

I snapped a photo of this little chickadee the other morning; and I found it slightly amusing how much the setting reminded me of a painting that I recently completed!

With watercolor sometimes it is fun to just free-form some clouds, and see where it goes.

I’m starting to do some greeting cards, and today I explored the capablities of the printer. It’s a sneaky device, but I think I know what it wants from me now!

Limited Edtion Print: Redtail Hawk

drybrush — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 01:54:00 +0000

In the near future I may be going to a larger format for my new release prints.

Most of my prints have an image size of 9.5″ x 12.5″. The Red-tailed hawk is 11.5″ x 14.75″ on a 13″ x 16.5″ watercolor paper.

This is acid free paper with archival inks.

It is still on auction at ebay at the time of this blog posting
