Spring Peepers - now supersized!!


 Spring Peepers
watercolor, 10" x 13"
Chris Beck

These days, everything gets supersized -- even the Peepers painting!! (OK, so supersized may be a bit of an exaggeration, but hey -- all things are relative!!) I revisited this subject this past week because the original challenge painting was a tad small for exhibition purposes. And actually, this is the second go at this size -- the first one met a sad end when I added a wash without thinking it through beforehand. We never become immune to these little "oops" moments I guess!!

I'm painting away, glad to have broken through the block that has been stifling me for quite a while now. It feels great to be back in the studio.

  2. Love it! Love the painting and the humor in it - and the size (would even like it bigger but that's just me). Hope you got a chance to stop by and see my spring peepers - all our treefrogs we were raising from tadpoles to froglets :)
