Plein Air abstract, watercolor painting, Cheniere Lake painting by Linda T Snider Ward, Louisiana artist

Cheniere Lake, Abstract Plein Air. This is an abstract plein air painting, which was a lot of fun to paint. It's watercolor on paper. After painting plein air several days with a friend of mine, I was curious to see "what if" I only painted the shapes that I saw and didn't try to create a realistic image. The result is rather interesting.

"Koi Pond II" small art, watercolor painting by Linda T Snider Ward

Koi Pond II is a small (5.5" x 7.5") watercolor on Rives BFK paper. This type of paper, a printmaking paper, doesn't allow for a lot of transitions but receives the watercolor as a stain. The image is from several pictures that I took of a friend's koi pond. When the fish hear her voice, they come up to the surface to greet her (hoping for food, of course).
