Love this little Roseate Spoonbill, it still might need a bit of tweaking, but it's nearing completion and will be traveling to Texas for our Christmas bazaar! 6.5" x11" Watercolor.

I paint on rough paper, which is really showing the paper textures in this photograph. Will edit and create some great notecards.

Painting isn’t just about picking up a brush and creating a masterpiece — far from it.

Behind every finished piece are many small “studies” — practice runs before the good (and expensive!) paper ever comes out.

Yesterday, I worked on a study of cattle using just one color. Painting in a single hue forces me to focus on lights and darks — a technique known as notan or value study. Without the distraction of color, I can better see how to place the lightest lights against the darkest darks — that contrast is often where the wow happens.

This little herd will be the subject of my next full-color painting. But before I get out the big sheet of watercolor paper, I need to be sure I’ve got the values just right. Funny enough, the herd will only be a small component of the final overall painting.

Stay tuned!

Worked on a little study 8”x8”, watercolor.

It needs a name? Perhaps “Around the Water Cooler”? Other ideas?

Slowly beginning to get back into my watercolors. I wanted to share my two recent paintings ..... I seem to be into the birds again.

My New website for seeing my artwork, https://bonniefoggfineart.com

Two years ago I started my website for displaying my artwork. The hosting company was robust and powerful, offering many products that I thought I would use, but didn't.

I made a change to my hosting platform, creating a new website. Simpler and more in keeping with the direction of my artwork. Without all the bells and whistles and a lot less work to maintain.

So, here's the new website. https://bonniefoggfineart.com.

For the past several months I have been painting, but oddly enough not watercolors. Finally this week I picked up my paints and started again. Stay tune as I begin loading my new work in the next couple of weeks.

Almost feels like a winter sabbatical… I have been painting, but not anything normal. The last several months have been involved with hand painting a standpipe, irrigation pipes there are thousands of them located in the Rio Grande Valley, used as sn irrigation network for the ag fields

The project is done and here’s the end result in a little YouTube video. The Sandpipe stands 15’ high and the bottom rectangle sections are each 5 x 7’ — quite an under taking that turned out beautiful!

The "Big Boy" irrigation sand pipe project, located in Mission Texas. 300+ hours creating Located in Mission, Texas, the Big Boy Mural is a vibrant communit...
