"Orchid Grace"
9" x 12" oil on gallery wrap canvas
I am not familiar with the proper name of this white orchid in the oil painting above, but I thought the title "Orchid Grace" fit it rather well.

Diamond Head From The Hilton
Photo by Carol Reynolds
The above photo of Diamond Head Crater (an extinct volcano) was taken in the early morning from the beach at the Hilton in Waikiki. Perfect timing with the boat being there ! Below is the beginning stages of a 6" x 6" acrylic of this scene.
Very very rough beginning of Diamond Head
6" x 6" Acrylic WIP
Eternity Beach
Photo by Carol Reynolds
This is Halona Beach on Oahu, but the locals call it Eternity Beach because of the old movie "From Here to Eternity" that had a scene filmed here with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr. I am working on another 6" x 6" painting of this scene as well, shown below.
Eternity Beach WIP
Again, very rough work in progress

Free Watercolor DVD !!
Your choice of either "Pure Color Glazing in Watercolor" by Arleta Pech or "Inspiration From The Garden in Watercolor" by Susan Bourdet !!
Both videos are older ones I have had in my possession for some time, but I no longer paint in watercolor to speak of, and thought my readers and followers may enjoy them. They are in excellent condition. The Bourdet one has some damage to the outside cover case, however; no dents, just the fine layer of plastic covering is missing. To view a short preview about each of the above videos go here and scroll to find them listed.
Please be sure to sign up for my blog posts and email list if you have not already done so because I am giving away one of the 2 DVDs described above in a random drawing from that list on Monday, November 25, at
midnight and will announce it to the winner and on this blog and inquire as to which DVD they prefer for me to send them.
Please share this post on the social media links below if you like and have time. I would appreciate it! :-D
Thank you! And thank you for visiting my blog.
