went on one of our favorite trips it was a long trip i think we were gone for about a month we flew into china then to chengdu that was the only way a person could get to nepal at the time from nepal we went to another country in the himalayan mountains called bhutan we went to another monastery but instead of going in i took pictures of about eight young males studying to be monks this picture was before they knew i was there these two were studying very hard and didn t realize i was there until i had taken a couple of pictures and shown it to the others after that they all started showing off just like any other kids that age we took serious pictures then silly pictures there was one boy who wanted me to take his picture after he straighten his robes for a very long time it was a beautiful picture of a very beautiful boy these kids made my whole trip and i spent less than an hour with them 140 arches wc paper watercolor and gesso posted by linda schuler at 7 03 2012 labels the boys bhutanese monks thursday december 8 2011 home from college i did this painting of kara two years ago i was 90 percent done when i was trying to squirt acrylic paint out of a bottle and instead of squirting down it went sideways to the left it went from the bed and across her face all the way to the other side by the curtains well to say i was upset was an understatement i just sat there and didn t know what to do the painting was ruined and i couldn t fix it soooooo i knew i would want to paint it again but not for a while this is the new painting and it is watercolor and collage look at it hard and you will see paper i have torn on her top the curtains pillars and the bedspread this is the direction i would love to go in i just needed to get this painting finished first so i could move on collage watercolor on arches 140 paper sold posted by linda schuler at 12 08 2011 labels home from college the men s club i started this painting about 2 or 3 years ago when we went to puskar india the huddle of men were in a larger picture that i took with camels tents and all their gear for the largest camel horse and cattle gathering in the world it was very interesting hot and dusty i would love to go see it again sometime in my life i have always wanted to know what they are talking about were they trading for an animal or just shooting the breeze because they only see each other once a year i think the painting looks hot and dusty what do you think acrylic drips and water color on arches 140 paper posted by linda schuler at 12 08 2011 labels the men s club wednesday october 5 2011 unfolding here is another cactus picture but it is totally different than the first one i did this cactus was as tall as i am and much wider i took pictures every morning because more and more blooms would open each day by the time i left most of the flowers had unfolded it was so much fun for this mid western girl to see the unfolding of this plant in the western state of arizona i would love to go back maybe next year this is painted on yupo paper and done with acrylics posted by linda schuler at 10 05 2011 labels unfolding wednesday june 29 2011 festival in the desert steve and i rented our first house out west in arizona through vrbo it was in april when all the cactus were blooming and it was beautiful i really loved it low humidity mountains all the way around as far as you could see and there were cactus of every kind that you could imagine with all their colors competing with each other the easiest ones to get to were in the nice neighborhoods so we drove around and i took pictures mostly from the car the reason i painted this picture was to see if i could capture the needles of the cactus it was challenging i used a lot of liquid frisquet from the white of the paper to dark points after everything was covered i dropped in my paint it actually was pretty easy but very time consuming because then i had to soften all of the points too all in all i think i like it what do you think watercolor 140 paper posted by linda schuler at 6 29 2011 labels festival in the desert saturday may 14 2011 bathing beauty 3 i painted this swan bathing beauty for my mom she wanted a smaller painting than the original which was full size on watercolor paper it is funny how you can take the same photo and paint the same subject and it turns out completely different your mood while you are painting or the handling of the paint to water is always different this swan looks like a young bird that is just starting out i usually don t paint a painting again but this is the third time i have visited this one i do love these majestic birds sold posted by linda schuler at 5 14 2011 labels bathing beauty 3 saturday april 16 2011 riley riley is a bernese mountain dog the

snapped a few pictures and here we are a few years later i played around in photoshop and came up with this design the picture took a long time to paint plus it was hard to stay focused enough to finish it i almost did give up but i knew if i finished it i would be glad i did i do like it what do you think went to an opening where i put in judy s coconuts and the painting won second place yaaaaa i was so excited 140 arches watercolor paper posted by linda schuler at 2 27 2011 labels judy s coconuts thursday november 18 2010 old country house this is a taped picture what i mean by taped is this you save the lightest light and tape that part you wish to save paint a thin layer of paint over the entire painting tape again the area s you wish to save you do this until the entire painting is covered in tape it takes a very long time to do and you never are really sure how it is going to end up that s the part i find enticing you can fix the painting but be careful because if you paint too much you will lose the taped look this photo that i used was taken on a trip with a friend to england we were out in the country driving around just looking for places to photo acrylic

sandy maudlin s studio the first day he explained photo shop and how he uses it it was what i had been waiting to learn i knew this picture would work well if i could remember what nick had said what fun we threw paint at blank pieces of watercolor paper in her studio you should have seen her wall colors everywhere i came home and threw paint outside on a day of 96 degrees it was too heavy on top so i turned it around and painted it with the drips going up instead of down it was fun but do you like it the more i look at it the better i like it and of course it looks a little like my son in his
