Demaris Brown Art

 These leaves are just about to unfold

 I love how ducks can rest on one leg like this female mallard is doing. 

 On this day's walk I focused on plants I saw, I noticed various flowers and leaves.  At the top of the page are two squirrels running up a tree.  

 On this day's walk I saw a green heron, hummingbird and water birds.  I'm also always interested  in various kinds of leaves, there's such a variety!

 On my walk this day I saw squirrels, a butterfly, dragonfly, cormorant and turtle, as well as another observer sitting on a bench enjoying all the activity.  

Sketch journal 11/1/20       This is my sketch journal from 11/1/20, these are some of the things I saw while walking my dogs.  The dog walker in the corner had a certain way of walking that I tried to capture in the drawing.  On the upper right there's a squirrel, a kingfisher in the center, a hummingbird lower down and many mallards napping.  So much to see in one short walk!

Star Turtle, photo This is a photo of a turtle I saw with a leaf on it last fall, I call it "Star turtle" because the leaf is star shaped.

Dragonfly Dream  (watercolor) 26x30 Original: $900 11x14 matted prints: $35 16x20 matted prints $60 This painting started with a sketch I made at the park of two dragonflies resting for a moment.  I wanted a different kind of background for them so then I added the flowers.  The two cormorants are from another park sketch.  Altogether I feel like the painting has a dreamy feeling.
