Week of Chicken Paintings

With the warm weather finally melting all the snow except a small patch in a shady spot by the house, our neighbor’s chickens are free to move about and they have been visiting the spent seed under the feeder and sifting through my compost pile.
They provide this week’s inspiration for some small chicken paintings including this one,
“Spring Chickens” 6×6″ open acrylic on panel.

“Dog Friendly”, a new 8″x10″ watercolor sketch.
With Spring weather only giving us a tease a few times this month, I have been longing for one of those unusually warm spring days spent at the beach. Since the weather won’t cooperate, I have taken matters into my own hands today to paint a perfect day spent on the beach… lounging with a good book, and people/dog watching!
This watercolor is available for purchase matted and unframed. $95.00
Ships Free!

2014 Molly Poole Watercolor Labrador Retriever Calendar Call for Reference Photos Contest

mollypoole_2014calendarcalloutpinintIt is hard to believe it is already time to start planning for my 2014 Labrador Retriever watercolor calendar. This will be the fourth year creating this calendar and the second year I am inviting folks to share their favorite Lab photos with me. I must get going on this project if I plan on having in ready in time!
Last year, I was met with such an overwhelming response and hope this year will be just as exciting seeing all the wonderful submissions.
Just like last year, I will be choosing 13 photos from the submissions and paint 13 watercolors to appear in 2014′s calendar.
Each year, a portion of the calendar sales go to support Lab Rescue Organization of my choosing. In keeping with the theme of  “Show Me Your Labs Coast to Coast”, I have chosen to support both Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue and Save A Lab in 2014 with a percentage of the proceeds split between these two rescue groups.

The rules are pretty much the same with a few minor changes to ease the organization of email submissions.

To view and print contest information and guidelines

*Please only submit photos you have taken yourself, I cannot accept submissions of third party photographs, either amateur or professional.

“Homebody” new watercolor on paper

homebody_gallery_sold“Homebody” 8″x8″ watercolor on paper.
For days, it has been rainy, sleety, soggy, foggy and miserable out until today and I worked on this watercolor while hunkered down inside.
Today, the sun is bright and the sky clear. Going to take to pups out to stomp in the mud and get some sunshine this afternoon before the nice weather retreats and we are back in the grips of winter doldrums.
SOLD
