Waiting on a Prayer, Taos New Mexico Church with Burro. Watercolor by Debbie Flood
Waiting on a Prayer 10 x 12 inch Watercolor on 300lb Arches Watercolor Paper. Inquiries may come to my email at debflood@debfloodart.com thank you.
The Taos, NM Church Watercolor Painting is finally finished.
I’ve returned from Sedona, Arizona and the Invitational Group Exhibit Lamingtons And Apple Pie at the Sedona Arts Center. I have to say, the work in that exhibit was wonderful!
The Red Rocks of Sedona was anything but amazing! Very gorgeous and inspirational Landscape there. As you have probably guessed, I took more than a lot of photographs.
I also took a day to visit the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. That sure is one big hole in the ground! ha ha….and quite spectacular.
Half a day was spent on a horse back ride through some of the Arizona desert, where Jack Rabbits and Cotton Tail rabbits seemed to watch us plod along. That ride was followed by a wagon ride, pulled by two beautiful black Percherons, up to the cook shack, where we were fed an awesome Breakfast of Cowboy eggs, sausage gravy, and home made biscuits that were cooked in a coal pit! Our view was filled with an over look of the Country that laid around us. And the Moon that we all share, was watching over us, in the morning sky.
Another day, I took a drive to Prescott, home of the Phippen Western Art Museum. I was nothing but inspired by that Museum and ready to paint, after viewing the amazing large oils, pastels and watercolors that graced the walls there. I was deeply moved by each artist’s work on display, of cattle, horses and the Western way of life.
I also had some magical and spiritual visions of the Landscape while in Prescott, and I am sure this will be reflected in the paintings that will come in the near future.
Yes, it was an experience that I will carry with me, and will be implemented in my future works.
I love my journey I am on, exploring myself and this world through the amazing beauty of painting, and being able to share that with you.

Watercolor Collage Workshop - Martha Kisling
CACTUS BLOOM
Watercolor Collage
I had a Watercolor Batik Workshop last Saturday with a wonderful group of students. It is always so much fun to spend the day with other artists and to see their excxitement when they iron off the final layers of wax on their batiks and get to see the results of their creative efforts. So far (knock on wood) everyone who has tried the watercolor batiks has gone home happy!
The next workshop will be on Sat. Sept 17, 2011 in Colorado Springs, CO and we will be doing a Watercolor Collage similar to the one shown above. We will spend the day painting tissue and rice papers and then incorporating them into a watercolor painting of cactus and flowers. Hope you can join us for another fun and creative day!

"Springtime in the Mountains" by Martha Kisling
SPRINGTIME IN THE MOUNTAINS
Original Watercolor - 11x15
My creative challenge was to use non-traditional colors in a landscape. In Springtime in the Mountains I did use some green for the background trees but also used purple for the sky and pinks and yellows in the foreground. Sometimes it feels good to break the rules and surprise the viewer!

"Summer Serenade" by Martha Kisling
SUMMER SERENADE
Original Watercolor - 11x15
The Creative Challenge this week was to paint roses - not always easy in watercolor. With oils and acrylics you can add highlights with white paint to the petals after you have the darks in - with watercolor you have to think backwards and paint the lights first and then come in with the darks around the petals to add shape to the flower.
I hope you were able to paint some roses this week and would love to see them. You can post your paintings on my new Flickr Group site - Creative Monday Challenges - where we can all post, share and discuss our art. Click here to read more about Flickr or go straight to the group site here.

‘Gathering up the reins’ Watercolor by Debbie Flood
Gathering up the reins 13 x 17 Watercolor on Arches 300lb Watercolor Paper.
The painting is finally finished. I was going to send this to an exhibit I was invited to, but the Lady at the Angel Fire ArtSpace Gallery in New Mexico, requested it for her Gallery.
I have other works I can send to the exhibit, so this one will be going to the Gallery. At the moment, the frame I ordered for it, is on back order. Once I have that, I’ll be able to frame it and send it on to the Gallery in NM.
This painting is from the ride I went on in Angel Fire, NM with the Road Runner Tours. This painting depicts the Tour Guide, Gunther, and his dark Palomino mare. This is where we stopped on the side of the mountain that dropped out into an open field. Here the horses rested and we took photos of one another.
Another painting I recently finished of the horse I rode “Bullet'” The coolest place in town, will also be going to the Angel Fire ArtSpace Gallery in NM. Here is an image of it with it’s pretty Gold Wood Frame on. I’ve included the story of the Butterfly, on the back of this painting too. You can scroll down a few posts to read about the Butterflies of Angel Fire.
My next trip is coming right up! August 13th I fly out to Sedona, Arizona. I am in an Invitational Group Exhibit there. The exhibit is ‘Lamingtons and Apple Pie’. It consists of 9 of us, from Australia and the USA. The Opening Reception is August 15th at 6:30PM. There will also be a raffle of works from each artist with proceeds for the Luv shack Horse Rescue Ranch.
The exhibit runs August 15- 29, 2011. Would love to meet you at the reception!

"Summer Medley" by Watercolor Artist Martha Kisling
SUMMER MEDLEY
Original Watercolor & Oil Pastel - 11x15
The Creative Challenge this week was to use a resist in your artwork. I used oil pastel with watercolor because the waxy nature of the pastel will repel the paint. I began the painting by drawing with different colors of oil pastel and then applied the watercolor. When everything was dry I added some more detail with the pastel and then add darks with the paint where needed.

‘Head Games’ Western Watercolor by Debbie Flood
Head games 15 x 12 Watercolor on Arches 300lb Watercolor Paper.
This is a scene from the ranch at the Road Runner Tours, in Angel Fire New Mexico, where I went on my trail ride in June 2011.
This poor cowpoke patiently chased this mare around the paddock to put her bridle on. The saddle was on...but she wasn't too quick to give her head. At one point, I helped block her, so she didn't go into another adjacent paddock.
I don’t know how many hours they had gone around one another, while I was off riding through the Forests and Mountains. They weren’t there when we left, but when we got back, 2 hours later, there they were, all hot, dirty and dusty. going around and around.
Many times she seemed she would give in and he got close to her head. He’d gently put a rope over the crest of her neck, to try to use as leverage in hopes she wouldn’t budge. But…off she’d go. About an hour after we got back from our ride, he finally caught her. I think at one point, she jumped into the water trough! I heard the thunderous splash of water and metal.
Once he had her, he climbed on, and away they rode…off into the Mountains. She was calm and no problems at all. I heard someone say, “She’s a great trail horse, once you catch her and get a bridle on”.
Hmmm….is this typical for a female? Head Games. lol
